Small adjustments with which the Austrian team hopes to compete for the world title with Mercedes.

“Next year's car will have many things in common with the RB16,” said Christian Horner. “The chassis will remain unchanged and the same will also be true for the suspension elements. The gearbox however will undergo some changes. The new single-seater will differ in look from the previous one only with regards to the aerodynamic surfaces, the only visible elements which will undergo various modifications."
