TECH WEEKLY: The benefits of Alpine's major floor upgrade as they look to recover from their difficult start

The big floor upgrade brought by Alpine to China was originally planned to be introduced this coming weekend in Miami, but the team was able to get a complete set of the necessary parts produced early, albeit only enough for one car – that of Esteban Ocon.

Pierre Gasly remained in the original car, but is set to have the upgraded spec in Miami, meaning he returns to spec parity with his team mate.
