That's not the skate though?
It falls under the same rule. In fact that type seen on the C43 was the original device used by Ferrari in 2022 iirc.
The ice skate and the device that alfa use were both floor edge wings, of course. I believe the way the ice skate was legalized was that the regulatory volume for the floor edge wing extended significantly below the minimum height of the floor edge, and the rules allow for up to 6 brackets to be used to attach the ice skate to the floor body.
The Alfa floor edge wing is still legal but its continued presence doesn't preclude the possibility that the ice skate has been outlawed, perhaps by the floor edge wing regulatory volume having been adjusted. I have looked through the technical regs but the rules seem particularly complicated in this area, so I'm not able to figure out if there's been a change that would render ice skates illegal, but I was under the impression that they were not going to reappear this season
