Cost reasons are behind Red Bull's decision to run different F1 floors for Verstappen and Perez since the Belgian GP. Explained:
The Milton Keynes-based team's two drivers have diverged on floors since the Belgian Grand Prix last month.
Perez revealed at Zandvoort last weekend that he would be sticking with the floor for a few more races, even though it appears not to be the optimum version and he has been battling to get on terms with his teammate for a little bit. Most of the big F1 squads are struggling to stay below the cost cap limits, forcing them to be cautious about introducing new parts if they will not deliver good value for money.Horner has equally played down suggestions that the floor is the reason why Perez has been so far behind Verstappen in pace terms in recent outings.
