What’s behind the AlphaTauri floor that has upset F1 rivals
The progress made by AlphaTauri in their development has caused concern among rival teams, as it is believed that their close relationship with Red Bull may be giving them an unfair advantage. While there is no evidence of any rule-breaking, collaboration between the teams can lead to optimization of development paths. The arrival of the new AlphaTauri floor in Abu Dhabi caught the attention of rivals, who speculated that it could reveal the development direction for both AlphaTauri and Red Bull in the future. The modifications made to the floor are not fully visible, as the most significant changes are underneath the car. Changes to the architecture of the floor, such as the enclosure of the lower side impact structures, have been observed, resulting in a different profile and disconnected sections. Additionally, the edge wing and strakes have been modified, with a reshuffling of the floor fences.
