Are they just leaving him the broken part then? Don't they have the old spec to revert to?

Yea they're just going to repair it as much as they can, doesnt seem like they have spare floors yet, Russell's is back at the factory being repaired for Brazil

Toto Wolff: Kimi did a solid job. We lost two and a half tenths with this part that touched the car. The job went well, I like what he did. We are a bit sceptical because on Friday night in Austin, if Lewis had finished the lap, we would have been four tenths faster than Verstappen. We need to see how the weekend goes and not just on Friday.

In an era where the floor downforce is the most important, a big team like Mercedes does not have a single spare?

That’s into 4th place on the deconstructors for RUS behind PER, SAR & ALB. I don’t know whether ANT Monza crash counts against the cap (I suspect it does), but the team was doing really well on that front until recently.
