The 2025 Chinese Grand Prix sees minimal technical updates from teams due to logistical challenges of back-to-back long-distance races following the season opener in Australia.

Four teams faced freight delays, with McLaren, Red Bull, Mercedes, and Aston Martin receiving curfew exemptions. Despite these challenges, four teams have introduced new components:

McLaren:

• New rear brake duct winglet for improved aerodynamics

Racing Bulls:

• Additional gurney flap on front wing
• Two-element beam wing for enhanced downforce at high-downforce circuits

Williams:

• Larger rear beam wing for increased load and drag from rear wing assembly
• Optimized for medium-high downforce circuits

Stake:

• New engine cover (test item)
• Designed to improve bodywork airflow
• Aims to enhance overall downforce and aerodynamic efficiency

Teams must consider customs clearance time when introducing new parts, contributing to the limited number of updates for this race weekend.
