Max Verstappen reveals what caused his dramatic loss of F1 pace in the BritishGP 👇
Red Bull team boss Christian Horner, who showed reporters later on a photo of Verstappen in the post-race debrief holding the endplate, reckoned that the disruption to his car’s airflow was costing Verstappen about 20 percent of his peak downforce.
“So he's then done the race with a modified floor that had a piece of an AlphaTauri endplate stuck under the bottom of the car. It stayed in there and got stuck and wedged itself almost like a blockage.”Motorsport Images “When I jumped out of the car I had a look at the floor and underneath, on the left hand side, it is completely ruptured, everything is gone,” he said. “Once I got into the lead and Carlos made a mistake, a few corners later in Turn 5, there was a piece a carbon.
“It felt like a puncture because suddenly I had no balance and the car was hopping a lot. So we decided to box and even after that the car was just a handful to drive.”
