This is best I could do
It's not that easy to change floor so and manufacture new one.

Sky F1 said it was a small tank - I don't think the tank is necessarily the floor. And this was said pre-practice first. Then they mentioned it again pre-race saying that Ferrari's sudden deficit in Quali was probably due to this. I find it hard to believe after seeing the race pace though.F1NAC wrote: ↑26 Jun 2017, 11:09It's not that easy to change floor so and manufacture new one.

Christian Horner told to a SKY reporter during the grid walk that a former member of the red team signed for the silver team and notified them of the extra oil tank and its purposes.NathanOlder wrote: ↑27 Jun 2017, 22:06So how did Mercedes manage to find out about this extra tank ?
