Romain Grosjean has revealed that he and his teammate will both use the latest-spec floor at Monza this weekend.
The floor was introduced at Spa, but while Kevin Magnussen stuck with it, Romain Grosjean opted to revert to the old floor.
Though the American team is unsure whether the new floor is an improvement, both drivers will use it this weekend.
"Last weekend we both had the update on the car and we were not very competitive on Friday, so on Friday night we decided to revert one car to the old spec," said the Frenchman, "just to see the difference and to try to understand and gather a lot of data, which we did.
"The guys went to the factory and discussed with the aerodynamic department and it was clear that the new package is a good step in a good direction and that we should run it.
"It does require a bit of adjusting in the set-up," he admitted, "which Kevin did over the weekend using it and which now we know, so I think now we are going to use that new package which should be more competitive."
