Saudi Arabian GP: The latest F1 tech updates direct from the pitlane

F1’s second race of the season at the Jeddah street circuit has forced all teams to opt for different downforce and drag levels to ensure they are better suited for the weekend’s top-speed demands.

However, that has not stopped squads also looking at wider developments to their cars. 

Here we take a look at the most interesting designs, car elements and upgrades spotted in the Saudi Arabian pitlane.
