What happened: The FIA confirmed that every Formula 1 manufacturer received an Additional Development and Upgrade Opportunities token except Red Bull Ford Powertrains. Max Verstappen stated the team is surprised by the findings and remains in discussions with the governing body.

Why it matters: The measurement system relies solely on the internal combustion engine, exposing a weakness for the constructor. Verstappen noted that while their internal combustion engine is strong, they could trail Mercedes in battery deployment.

What to watch: Red Bull continues to contest the findings behind closed doors, though the FIA maintains the results are final.
