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.

With the season re-starting, a reminder for everyone that the car threads are moderated more strictly than other threads, with the idea that car threads should focus on the hardware and interpretation of how it works. And on the specific car in each car thread, please. We like our car threads shorter, focused and fact dense.

If a post is about the competition side of F1, be it faster/slower than, lap times or driver behavior, please, post it in the team threads instead (or even in the race thread!). Team threads are moderated very loosely, go wild in there. Future car parts, also in team threads, please, as they are by definition speculation, at least without an insider source.

Posts made in the car threads that are not focusing on the hardware are subject to be moved to other threads or, most likely, removed (as there are too many).
I would like to see a paleontologist.

Upgrades for Monaco ive spotted so far. Team has mentioned that the floor upgrade they were expecting to bring to imola was a "significant step" so probably a couple of tenths. Should bring them within touching range of the midpack.

📸 Fabrega

Image

New floor edge wing design, more similar to what RB run. Lacks the complexity at the forward section.

Image

Significantly revised front of the floor, with the outwashing channel. After their major redesign of their floor for the beginning of the season, they've converged yet further towards what others are doing in this area - particularly McLaren.

Image

New up & outwashing vane on the outer face of the rear wing endplate (first seen on alpine's car) - improves diffuser performance.

Has there always been a crease in the sidepod? In the pic above it looks like there is (around the T in “Tauri”) but might be some lighting effect.

No - you're right that's a new feature. I saw it made a mental note and never double checked to see if it was there before.

Great spot :D the car seems to be quite similar to the Mclaren overall.

Does anyone know what Yuki's issue with the brakes was? Did they get too cold?

It sounded like a continuation of last year's issues.
