Ocon wants set-up changes after China F1 sprint as "performance left on the side"
French driver Esteban Ocon received Alpine’s new floor upgrade, originally planned for Miami, in time for the Chinese Grand Prix. The new floor includes modifications to the diffuser, front fences, and a floor edge wing with a rear slot. Although these changes were expected to improve performance, Ocon expressed disappointment in the car’s setup being insufficient for the sprint qualifying session. Ocon highlighted the need for numerous changes during parc ferme opening to improve performance for the actual qualifying. Teammate Pierre Gasly will have to wait for the Miami race to receive the new floor but remained optimistic about his performance without the upgrades. Gasly faced an ERS issue in practice but was satisfied with his qualifying performance, finishing 16th on the sprint grid and expressing confidence in achieving better results with the new floor in Miami.
