McLaren wil dit koste wat kost voorkomen en zal de rijhoogte vermoedelijk met enkele millimeters moeten verhogen.'"

Exactly
Interesting fact is : If you lift the car 1 millimetre then the car will be +/- 17 sec. slower over a whole +/- 300 km race distance (!)
If you drop the car just 1 millimetre , the car is 0.2 sec./lap faster.
In F1 is 1 millimeter a sea of time (!)
Piastri's floor had even more floor plank wear .
His plank wear , left front side exceeded the maximum wear by 26% (!)
Norris won the Brazilian GP with a cheating McLaren car ...
Too bad the FIA car regulations doesn't work retroactively (!)
McLaren already knew during the Formation Lap that the car was sitting too low ..
