Haas fears losing ground to Alpine after Miami updates

Haas has dropped behind Alpine in the Formula 1 constructors' championship following the Miami Grand Prix. The American team introduced only a minor diffuser change while its rival delivered a major aero upgrade package.

After the Japanese Grand Prix, Haas held fourth place in the championship, two points ahead of Alpine. A quiet Miami weekend reversed that standing, leaving Haas five points adrift after Pierre Gasly scored a sprint point and Franco Colapinto finished seventh. Alpine's extensive aero revisions addressed a long-standing high-speed weakness, while Haas added just one small element to its diffuser winglet.
