Alpine has been within touching distance of Mercedes at times this year. Here's a look at some of its recent F1 upgrades, including a new rear wing, that is allowing the squad to close the gap to the front.
The form has come as the result of a pretty intensive development push this season that has helped Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon keep bringing home the points – and even the occasional real stand out performance.
This has also resulted in the modification of the outer section of the upper flap and endplate transition, with the cutout altered quite considerably as a consequence .Alpine has also joined Alfa Romeo in the use of a teardrop-shaped DRS pivot , which like its rival also has a section of the pivot mounted on the flap side, meaning there’s a shut line that runs through it.Back to back push
At Silverstone it utilised gills that followed the contours of the upper surface of the sidepod crevice, whereas at the Red Bull Ring these were absent. The panel, on the now higher rounded shoulder above, has more apertures with which to reject the heat created within.Red Bull also arrived in Austria with several new items that it hoped would improve the car’s operating envelope.
It’s a solution that’s by no means a new design though, as teams such as Alpine and Haas already have similar designs, suggesting Red Bull may have been inspired by its rivals.The team also made a revision to the innermost floor fence, taking away some of the material in the lower portion in order to improve performance over a range of ride heights.
