I don't know where this website found it's information from, but it is the only outlet that is carrying it that I can find, which makes me somewhat cynical.
Furthermore, they also contradict their reporting, because a couple of paragraphs earlier, they say:
Quote:

"The Brackley squad revealed that it had been damaged during the Bahrain race and cited China as the “best place” to take the hit “rather than carry any risk moving forward.”

And in all the other reports, the damage is attributed to the collision caused by Bottas.
