Porpoising could be set to stay according to someone within Aston Martin. F1
Aston Martin predict porpoising ‘won’t disappear completely’ on 2023 carsAston Martin deputy technical director Eric Blandin believes porpoising will stick around in some capacity in 2023, despite advancements having been made against it.
The vertical oscillations on the new generation of cars were brought about by ground effect aerodynamics and the way the cars now generate downforce, with air moving underneath the floors and ‘pulling’ the cars towards the track surface. With cars looking to run as low to the ground as possible to maximise their downforce package, this led to some cars being heavily affected by porpoising, perhaps Mercedes most prominently, but Aston Martin also suffered quite harsh bouncing effects early in the season.
They were able to make changes to the cars to limit the phenomenon as the season went on, and the FIA will be enforcing new regulations to limit the amount of vertical oscillations a car can have over the course of a lap following driver safety concerns, as well as a small rise in minimum ride height.
But despite the changes being made to help combat the issue, Blandin predicts Aston Martin and others will struggle to get rid of porpoising altogether, simply as a matter of physics surrounding the new era of Formula 1 cars.“It’s something that’s inherent within this set of regulations.
