McLaren moved up to fourth in the F1 standings after a double top five finish in Singapore. Here are the upgrades the team brought that helped it jump Alpine:
Alpine didn’t have an update package on the scale of McLaren available in Singapore but it did at least have a new floor at the disposal of both drivers.
Externally, the changes made on the floor’s edge were clear to see, with the previously upwardly tipped rear section of the mid section being flattened out. That section of the floor now features a full length metal strip on its edge too, whilst the arc’d floor section aft of it now also has a strip of metal to protect it as well.
As seen on the likes of the Ferrari F1-75 and Red Bull RB18, there’s now a cutout ahead of the rear tyre where a flap protrudes out from the underside of the floor. The solution it used up until this point saw the nose tip sit lower than the mainplane, which connected to the side of the nose, leaving room for the airflow to make its way under the assembly .
