The three teams to bring upgrades to F1 2023’s finale

Aston Martin, AlphaTauri and Alfa Romeo are the only three teams to bring updates to their cars for the Yas Marina season finale.

While most teams have already turned their attentions to next year, the aforementioned trio still have one eye firmly on this year as they battle for championship positions that could earn them extra millions in prize money. 

Aston Martin sit fifth in the constructors’ championship and while they cannot be caught, they are just 11 points adrift of fourth-placed McLaren.

Meanwhile, AlphaTauri are seven points behind Williams in the battle for seventh. The Faenza squad are also only five points clear of ninth-placed Alfa Romeo, who in turn are four clear of Haas, who occupy the unwanted bottom spot. 

Here’s what the three teams have brought to Abu Dhabi.
