The areas each team must address ahead of 2023 F1 development war

The four-week gap following the Australian Grand Prix has allowed many of the Formula 1 fraternity to take some annual leave. But the development arms race doesn’t take time off.

A fallow period on-track belies teams working to sign off upgrades to be manufactured and freighted to Azerbaijan.

With the hole in the calendar meaning fewer races have been run at this point in the year, it allows any new parts to be bolted on sooner and improve performance for a greater amount of time. Add in a cost cap that deters expensively transporting excess items to the Middle East, Australia or Miami and it means that a raft of new components are expected to break cover this weekend in Baku.

Here are the key areas each squad needs to focus on as the 2023 development war kicks into life.
