While Max Verstappen will be starting from pole position at the Spanish GP, his teammate Sergio Perez went on to have a disaster himself as he got knocked out of Q2. On the other hand George Russell also went on to have a similar situation. The Brit will be starting the race behind Sergio Perez in P12. However, his recent antics on track might have ruined his race even before the start.

On his lap to the starting grid, George Russell went off the track and into the gravel. This incident took many by surprise and has left fans shocked. With the gravel inflicted damage, the floor must have taken a very big beating. Fernando Alonso had a similar incident in qualifying that left him with damage to his floor. Something similar could happen to the Brit in the race.
