Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Max Verstappen sustained significant floor damage after hitting a bollard in the F1 Miami Grand Prix.

Verstappen appeared in control of the early stages of Sunday’s race iꦕn Miami but the reigning world champion made a rare error when he skipped over the Turn 15 chicane and wiped out a bollard.

The Dutchman would go on to finish second to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris after the McLaren driver capitalised on a Safety Car period to jump into the lead, before pulling༒ clear of Ve⛎rstappen.

Unusually, Verstappen was unable to keep pace with Norris in the final stintꦜ 🧸and ended up finishing over seven seconds behind.

After the race, Horner revealed Verstappen ༒had picked up “quite a lot of damage” to🌄 the floor of his RB20.

“I don't think we had a great bal𓄧ance all weekend,” Horner said.

“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.”

Horner said Red Bu💫ll calculated the damage as costing Verstappen as much as two-and-a-half tenths every lap.

"He lost two and a half tenths every lap in turn one,"꧅ Horner aꦫdded.

"Now whether that was bꦍecause of the damage, I think when you actually see the pictures of what was missing it wasn't designed like that.”

Hor✤ner’s claim appeared to contradict Verstappen’s immediate comments after he got out of his car.

“I never really felt comfortable the whole weekend with it,” the three-time world champion admitted. “I think on the medium it🌳 was still OK-ish, but on the hard it𝓡 was quite a disaster.

"I mean, just low grip, just very tricky balance in the low-speed. I couldn't really lean on the re⛎ar while in the high-speed I was understeering a lot.

“So when you have these two issues, you cannot also balance it ℱout because you're chasing two different things. So yeah, just driving to the grip that I had and it was not a lot.”

On the bollard s♏trike and picking up possible damage, Verstappen added: “I decided to take itꦡ out and test the durability of the front wing as well.

"So that's a crash test done. Yeah, there was no damage. The cone wa𓃲s out of the way for everyone, so 🔥it was basically a free-for-all after that.

“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.”
