La Haas teme di perdere terreno rispetto all'Alpine dopo gli aggiornamenti di Miami

La Haas è scivolata dietro l'Alpine nel campionato costruttori di Formula 1 in seguito al Gran Premio di Miami. La scuderia americana ha introdotto solo una piccola modifica al diffusore, mentre la rivale ha presentato un importante pacchetto di aggiornamenti aerodinamici.

Dopo il Gran Premio del Giappone, la Haas occupava il quarto posto in classifica, con due punti di vantaggio sull'Alpine. Un fine settimana di Miami sottotono ha ribaltato la situazione, lasciando la Haas a cinque punti di distacco dopo che Pierre Gasly ha conquistato un punto nella Sprint e Franco Colapinto ha chiuso al settimo posto. Le estese revisioni aerodinamiche dell'Alpine hanno risolto una debolezza cronica alle alte velocità, mentre la Haas ha aggiunto solo un piccolo elemento alla sua aletta del diffusore.
