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 appe🌜ared in control of the early stages of Sunday’s race in Miami but the reigning world champion made a rare error when he skipped over the Turn 15 chicane and wiped out a bol🗹lard.

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 o൲f Verstappen.

Unusually, Ve🌳rstappen was unable to keep pace with Norris in the f⭕inal stint and ended up finishing over seven seconds behind.

Aဣfter the race, Horner revealed Verstappen had picked up “quite a lot of damage” to the fl𒁃oor of his RB20.

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

“Obviously, he hit the bollard around lap 20 and that has actually done quite a lot of damage t🔜o the underside of the car,&nbs🤪p;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.”

Horn💝er said Red Bull 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 added.

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

Horner’s claim ap🦩peared 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 sti🍷ll OK-ish, but on the hard it was quite a d💮isaster.

"I mean, just l♏ow grip, just very tricky balance in the low-speed. I couldn't really lean on the rear while in the high-speed I was understeering a lot.

“So when you have𝓀 these two issues, you cannot also b♛alance it out 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 strike and picking up possible damage, Verstappen added: “I decided to take it out and test the durabiꦡlity of the fronꩲt wing as well.

"So that's a crash test done. Yeah, there was no damage. The cone was out of t🔯he 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 t📖hat thing and then my pace was the same so I didn't really know if there was damage.”
