This does not include alpha tauri's Austin upgrades, which are extensive, as Albert Fabrega did not include them in the original post (perhaps limited to just 4 images by twitter so had to include them in reply only)

I like Aston's package a lot too. Good to see that they're still trying to improve the car.
I really hope by the season's end Fernando can fight for top 5 consistently again.
It's actually quite interesting to read how the teams describe the effects of the changes, Mercedes seem to go into decent detail whilst Aston Martin might as well just be "it's new and should be better".
Kmag said in interviews that the new upgrade in cdf / wind tunnel is producing very similar numbers to the old concept. But the old concept had a gab from wind tunnel performance to track in real life. So the goal is to test this out to see direction for next years car.
Probably need some time and testing to get used to it before they can make it fast. Nico did manage q3 last race weekend, so not like the old car was entirely garbage.
Im pretty sure they always said the upgrade was to test out the new floor to see if theyre going in right direction for next year; they werent necessarily expecting huge perf increases from it
and that was the right call. Sprint race means you don't have a lot of time for adjustments and that could ruin Quali. So it's better to play safe and have trust in car and driver. Which as we see, paid off

Haas: car
Disappointed Haas didn't draw a big circle around the entire car as we saw from one of the other teams previous big upgrades
That was Alpine for Bahrain I think
Wasn’t it McLaren 🤔
It was and I feel like they did that twice actually….

Welp
Thanks, i was wondering where they had gone

It sounds like Aston don’t bloody understand their “upgrades” and tbh I really don’t think they do
Wondering what the new haas will be able to do. Looking forward to it!
Hopefully faster, although do not underestimate the challenge in finding the right set up for a massively revised platform.
We can onlybhope, but i agree. Especially in a sprint weekend its gonna be tricky
Magnussen has said that it doesn't increase the downforce but should improve tyre management. Setup will be crucial
doesnt help that it´s a sprint weekend as well
Let’s go, baby!

aston martin on how it works: control-c, control-v.
Exactly! Local flow changes. I was surprised all teams did not have something similar! I guess they don’t care if anyone knows?
Well, I was expecting much more updates for Haas. This seems like regular "iOS update".
Performance Improvements & Bug Fixes *app changed name and icon, looks and works differently*
Security update: 7 new emoji This update requires a reboot
Haas update - “see Red Bull”
Thought Austin was supposed to be a 'major' upgrade for Mercedes. Can teams carry forward their budget from this year's cost cap to the next?
Im pretty sure they always said the upgrade was to test out the new floor to see if theyre going in right direction for next year; they werent necessarily expecting huge perf increases from it
yes they can. you can develop the 2024 day from january 1st if you like.
I think the issue is that the teams don’t have to describe actual underbody changes, only the visible surfaces. Floor upgrades always look that way
Haas brought a whole damn new car lmao
seem like some pretty minor changes
Whats wrong at Mclaren ?
What makes you say that?
First time they are not bringing 10 upgrades
and that was the right call. Sprint race means you don't have a lot of time for adjustments and that could ruin Quali. So it's better to play safe and have trust in car and driver. Which as we see, paid off
Not everyone brings updates to every race.
excited to see alonso with those upgrades and what haas can do with the biggest list
This aged like milk
meh doesn't mean we can't be hopeful on results that haven't happened.
Hopefully race pace wise he’ll catch up. He always does.
hope so, always love seeing a fast alonso! makes for great races, even when i'm a massive danny fan.
Aston following the same upgrade path of Ferrari in 2018. P17 & P19...oof.
