Looks like he used Austin floor all weekend.
Disagree.
Just before the race, Aston Martin had changed the specification of the floor on the cars, returning to the one rejected in Austin.[...]
After the free practice sessions [note: Sprint was basically a second free practice session], due to the excessive bouncing and the conditions of the asphalt, in view of the sprint it was decided to take a step back, returning once again to the most used specification throughout the year as it was the one that guaranteed the best indications, namely the Suzuka surface, which generates less rebounds and guarantees more confidence to the drivers. However, the two accidents in qualifying on Sunday morning pushed Aston Martin to change the surface again on both cars, returning precisely to the Austin specification.
“After this morning, we had to go back to a less performing package on the car. So the race was a bit slower in terms of pace on our side and then we had a problem with the brakes,” Alonso said after the race.

Yeah, I had already read that,wouldn't be the first time a reputable site got things wrong and I found pictures on Motorsport. It wouldn't be the first time they dated pictures incorrectly too.
