Haas craint de perdre du terrain face à Alpine après les mises à jour de Miami

Haas a été dépassé par Alpine au championnat du monde des constructeurs de Formule 1 à l'issue du Grand Prix de Miami. L'écurie américaine n'a introduit qu'un changement mineur au niveau du diffuseur, tandis que son rival a apporté un package aérodynamique majeur.

Après le Grand Prix du Japon, Haas occupait la quatrième place du championnat, avec deux points d'avance sur Alpine. Un week-end discret à Miami a inversé la tendance, laissant Haas à cinq points de retard après que Pierre Gasly a marqué un point lors du sprint et que Franco Colapinto a terminé septième. Les révisions aérodynamiques approfondies d'Alpine ont permis de corriger une faiblesse chronique à haute vitesse, alors que Haas n'a ajouté qu'un petit élément à l'aileron de son diffuseur.
