Only three teams bring F1 upgrades to Qatar as sprint race format bites
Numerous teams have chosen not to make any modifications to their cars for the Qatar Grand Prix due to limited practice opportunities and challenging conditions at Losail. Only three teams have made minor tweaks, while seven squads have kept their 2023 challengers unchanged. Alpine has introduced three upgrades, including a taller diffuser sidewall cut-out, a revised rear brake drum lower flick geometry, and revisions to the cooling louvres on the engine cover. Alfa Romeo has made modifications to the beam wing and the lower part of the rear wing endplate to enhance aerodynamic flow. AlphaTauri focused on modifying the forward part of the floor edge to reduce pressure and improve downforce. These changes follow significant upgrades that both Alpine and AlphaTauri introduced at the Singapore Grand Prix.
