Max Verstappen's floor another casualty of Austrian Grand Prix kerbs

SPIELBERG, Austria -- Max Verstappen was one of a number of drivers who damaged their cars on the Red Bull Ring's kerbs during Friday practice for the Austrian Grand Prix.

The Red Bull driver finished the second practice session with the fifth fastest time after failing to improve on his lap in FP1. He later revealed that he had damage to his floor in the second session and a temporary fix was applied on Friday before a new floor is fitted ahead of final practice and qualifying.

"I don't think it was a perfect day as we had a damaged floor, something broke off the inside of the floor, so my second practice session I had to run with a floor that was a little bit cut or modified," he said.
