Are people expecting a totally new floor so soon?
It's only been 5 days since testing finished, so it would be very impressive if they managed to design and manufacture a new floor for both cars.
Maybe they have just modified the floors that they were expecting to use for the first race, and are still gathering data to design a more comprehensive solution that will solve the problems without compromising performance.
Tbh I hope they do have totally new floor already that will be a silver bullet solving the porpoising issue.
It was mentioned by Mercedes during Bahrain testing that they work working on a new/updates/modified (I can't remember the exact verbiage), and that they hoped to have it in time for the race!
If its a completely new floor, it would have to be based on what they learned in Barcelona. IF it's a modified floor with some bits cut away and other bonded on then its possibly based on what they learned Bahrain.
But need to see it to be able to tell one way or another.
