Audi changes Monza gearing before Baku overhaul

Audi is making adjustments to its car ahead of the upcoming Monza Grand Prix, focusing on revising the transmission ratios to enhance performance. The team has identified issues with the original gear setup, which complicated starts and limited overall speed. These changes have been in the works for some time, as manufacturing new parts requires significant lead time under regulations.

Following the Monza adjustments, Audi is preparing a major aerodynamic upgrade for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The team has shown recent improvement, scoring points in four consecutive races after a slow start to the season. The upcoming changes aim to address performance weaknesses while maintaining speed on the long straights of both circuits.
