About the floor damage from hitting the bollard conversation in the comments, Red Bull has released a statement: saying there was floor damage to Verstappen’s Car from hitting the bollard. While Max has been saying he didn’t felt any difference in pace.
Horner:
Speaking afterwards, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said: “I don’t think we had a great balance all weekend. Obviously, he hit the bollard around lap 20 and that has actually done quite a lot of damage to the underside of the car, so we will have to look at exactly what the effect of that was. “It is a reasonable amount of the area around the left rear floor. There is a reasonable amount that’s missing and you can see it awfully flexing as well, so it certainly wouldn’t be helping.”
Verstappen:
Asked specifically though about Horner’s suggestions of his pace drop being down to damage, Verstappen replied: “It didn’t feel different, so I don’t know. Maybe it was already damaged. I don’t know. I mean I hit that thing and then my pace was the same so I didn’t really know if there was damage.”
It’s pretty clear at 0:31, well as clear as that blurry mess can be. The back left of the car slams on the bollard fixture (or whatever that ground connector is called). At a higher resolution if you look at the body in front of the back left wheel you can literally see the fixture rip off a part of the body. Hard to say if it count as a hole in the floor, but it’s pretty clear the car/floor was damaged.
