Alpine may be languishing at the bottom of the standings and ruing its worst start to a Formula 1 season in years, but the team could be about to get a boost as F1 has recently reset its aerodynamic testing restrictions for the second half of the year.
In an attempt to level the playing field, Formula 1 introduced a sliding scale that alters the amount of aerodynamic testing teams can carry out depending on their championship position. The scale resets twice a year, meaning that some teams have their testing allowances cut, while others are given a boost to aid development.
