Floor is damaged. GP confirmed load loss on radio. Quite unlucky to get rain into copse when others didn't.

Yeah unlucky but it happens. Just gotta get through to Q3. But a top 5 with this floor will be extremely tricky

If they change the floor it will be the older floor > pitlane start.

Unless they have a spare of the new floor! It's rare to decide to run a part on the car without a spare of the same spec.

If they have 2 floors of the new spec, they won't give 1 each to the drivers. they would give 1 driver the new floor and hold one spare.

If they have just one floor... and it's damaged, would Verstappen be forced to either start from the back or run the damaged floor.

I really doubt they would run quali with a floor having 0 same spec spares. The floor was worth 1 tenth at most so that's not a risk they'd take for such a small margin

They typically repair these floors with filler/glue. He hasn't crashed. It's just "gravel rash" but the floor is extremely sensitive to it.

well good damage limitation, Mercedes is not a thing in championship and Norris is just one place ahead

let's hope they can repair the floor or they have a spare one

Alternatively some dudes might be in for an all nighter at Milton Keynes.

Horner said damage was worth 3 tenths and without it he may have been in contention for pole.
