They might not have enough spares to risk running them in free practice after the first one was damaged. You would much rather be very slightly slower in free practice and have an intact floor for quali and the race, than risk destroying your only intact floor before quali.

Spares shouldn't be a concern.bananapeel23 wrote: ↑24 May 2024, 17:04They might not have enough spares to risk running them in free practice after the first one was damaged.
