Alpine and Haas introduced upgrade packages earlier than planned for the Chinese Grand Prix. Alpine, currently last in the constructors’ championship, brought a new floor to China to accelerate its recovery, despite initially targeting Miami for a major upgrade. The substantial floor changes include heavily revised front floor fences, enhancing flow and increasing overall downforce. Haas has targeted various areas for improvement, including new floor fences, revised floor edges, and changes to the engine cover for better airflow. While some teams like Mercedes and Williams made small updates, five teams didn’t introduce new parts due to the Sprint format and limited practice sessions on the Shanghai circuit.
