Does anyone have pictures of the upgrade Haas did for Japan?
Here's a description: "Central section of the floor re-shaped to cure a problem experienced in Australia"
Is this change completely hidden underneath the car and therefore not visible in photos?
Found the answer, though finding pictures of this will probably be impossible. The central section refers to the canoe shaped section under the floor, and it appears that this is the only section that was modified. Furthermore, the changes were slight, so unless there are detailed pictures of the car before and after, we probably won't see what the changes look like as they aren't visible topside.
Details on the floor update we saw at Suzuka:
"With insufficient time to research this further, the aero team reshaped the central ‘canoe’ section of the floor. This is the flat area between the two tunnels running either side of the floor and its shape in plan view determines the plan view shape of the tunnels."
