As the formula1.com piece says, only Merc themselves know how much the broken floor cost in lap time. We can only speculate. It was good to see another engine supplier on the podium, and hope Honda continue to be as competitive elsewhere! |

I'm willing to speculate that it was less than the time he was losing to Bottas. I'm also willing to speculate that had Hamilton won the race regardless, he would still have mentioned it. It would just have been in terms of how brilliant he was to have damage and still beat his teammate... In this day and age, it pays to know how to whinge properly. Whether you've really been that affected by something or not, it's bound to get in your rivals' heads! |

But it could be a nice placebo. Tell Lewis the floor is now fixed and he's back on form. Racing drivers can be fooled too. |

Well I wouldn’t assume anything. It looked to me like he did run over debris and that ruined the underneath of his car
No need to make excuses, everyone knows when he hasn’t done well enough. But now he has a fight on his hands against Bottas |

Interesting analysis of what went wrong at Ferrari in Melbourne. Essentially the wing is designed to generate outwash and the ability to adjust the downforce generated is difficult and limited. |

They were not fast enough. This could be a recurring probl3m. Probably aero is the problem

It’s clear there was floor damage and while it didn’t prevent him winning, it was the start that cost him, it did put him under threat from Max
