In the DRS zones they are equal in top speed. It's only without DRS where they are slower.
For the time loss along the straights, it's likely that the floor damage was costing corner exit speed which carries all along the straight.
Check the 9-10-11-12 in the same trace. RB20 significantly faster in the high speed, despite damaged floor. In every single slow or medium speed corner in this trace
(I dont think it's going to be any different even if NOR is added to this trace) , VER is braking late and having poor exit. I don't know whether that has anything to do with damaged floor
(if the aero balance was ruined by the floor, the 9-10-11-12 would've looked bad anyway) , or is just a case of having a poor car in slow speed that refuses to rotate.
