AlphaTauri AT04

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Autospprt/Motorsport.com are now saying the same: that from Singapore onwards the team has used the RB19 rear suspension. That they then had brilliant pace at COTA, Mexico and Brazil is no surprise

There's also a major floor upgrade This weekend that they've been able to bring early from '24 so will keep keen eye out for that.

Top deck of the forward floor has been updated significantly a few times already by them this season. All about optimizing flow over the floor edge wing but minimize losses induced by the SIPS. New solution which is more similar to McLaren in this area. Forward floor edge wing maybe looks less cambered as well, like update document listed

Interestingly this forward floor region is similar to what they ran earlier in the year

From this other angle we can see the chord length of the floor edge wing, will dig for comparative angle of old FEW

It was not logical to me and I thought that there is something on the surface that it is not visible on the pic cause of low quality.

Obviously it’s legit but I thought ‘customer’ teams could only run year old parts?

No. Haas for example uses current Ferrari parts on its car.
