Haas teme perder terreno para a Alpine após atualizações em Miami

A Haas caiu atrás da Alpine no campeonato de construtores da Fórmula 1 após o Grande Prêmio de Miami. A equipe americana introduziu apenas uma pequena mudança no difusor, enquanto sua rival entregou um pacote de atualização aerodinâmica significativo.

Após o Grande Prêmio do Japão, a Haas ocupava o quarto lugar no campeonato, dois pontos à frente da Alpine. Um fim de semana discreto em Miami inverteu essa situação, deixando a Haas cinco pontos atrás depois que Pierre Gasly pontuou na corrida sprint e Franco Colapinto terminou em sétimo. As extensas revisões aerodinâmicas da Alpine corrigiram uma fraqueza de longa data em alta velocidade, enquanto a Haas adicionou apenas um pequeno elemento à aleta de seu difusor.
