Ferrari is set to reveal its first major update package at the Spanish Grand Prix: https://the-race.com/formula-1/ferrari-set-for-first-big-update-to-fight-red-bull-gains/

"... Ferrari has barely changed its car since a new floor was introduced during pre-season testing, while Red Bull has introduced aerodynamic and weight-saving upgrades since new sidepods, and a new floor appeared at the second test.

Red Bull’s early development rate is presumably unsustainable given the budget cap – something Ferrari has asserted publicly for the first time – but even so, Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto is aware that “in order to keep the pace we need to develop ourself and introduce upgrades”.

That will come at the next race in Spain, where Ferrari is set to bring substantial upgrades including a new floor that should reduce porpoising and help Ferrari run the car lower.

“In the next races it will be at least our turn to try to develop as much as we can the car by introducing upgrades,” said Binotto.

“I think it’s not a surprise that we may have a package in Barcelona which will be important for us.

“As usual I hope that the package we are introducing is working as expected in order to try to catch up the current gap we’ve got compared to the Red Bull.” ..."
 
Red Bull is pushing boundaries with Max Verstappen's car: https://www.telegraaf.nl/sport/1273836441/red-bull-zoekt-grenzen-op-met-auto-max-verstappen

"... Towards the next Grand Prix, Red Bull is not so much looking at a performance upgrade, but the (too) heavy RB18 of Verstappen and teammate Sergio Pérez will become a lot lighter. New, lighter parts allow for a weight loss of three to five kilograms. A lighter car is logically also faster. Ferrari, in turn, has announced a significant package of updates for the upcoming race in Spain after two wins in a row against Verstappen.

The budget cap this year is $140 million for 21 races. For the remaining two Grand Prixs there is an extra 'bonus' of just over a million dollars per race.

Reports were circulating in Italy that Red Bull has already spent a large part of the available budget for updates, but insiders say to De Telegraaf that this is nonsense. Red Bull is doing everything it can to cut costs where possible. For example, fewer spare parts are carried than before, often one instead of three or four. Also, sometimes fewer staff travel to the track and more often employees work from the factory in Milton Keynes.

Red Bull is still sticking to the schedule drawn up prior to the season. Before the summer break, the installation of new parts is being looked only at strategic moments. It is expected that after the summer break there will also be a moment with a major upgrade. ..."
 
Mercedes crisis: anti porpoising corrective measures and second power unit in Spain https://www.formu1a.uno/mercedes-in-arrivo-la-seconda-power-unit-in-spagna/

"... The first real anti-porpoising corrections for the W13 will arrive in Spain , especially with a new fund. In addition to aerodynamic updates, the second Power Unit on the W13 should make its debut in Barcelona which, based on what has been collected, will be able to guarantee a leap forward in performance. As we understand it, the first unit was not used to its maximum potential, however, upon explicit request, the world champion team did not want to comment on whether the second unit is a new specification with interventions granted by the FIA to solve the reliability problems that emerged. on the benches, a little as granted to Ferrari. Further cavalry should then arrive with specification 3 , which should debut later in the season. The Mercedes goal to hunt for Honda and especially Ferrari in terms of engine performance. ..."
