F1 teams appear set to battle against the porpoising phenomenon again during the 2023 Spanish GP weekend after drivers reported the return of bouncing in FP1 in Barcelona. Full story including explanation from McLaren's Andrea Stella here ⬇️
The porpoising sensation that many thought had been left in the 1980s returned to the series during the early part of 2022 upon the rejig of the regulations that heralded the return of ground effects.
In response to porpoising dogging the early part of the last season, the FIA began monitoring the levels of movement and for 2023, imposed a 15mm rise in the height of the floor edge in a bid to eliminate porpoising for good since the extreme oscillations pose a threat to the drivers’ health. All four racers noted it occurring on the entry phase to the last corner, where speeds have markedly increased for 2023 following the removal of the final chicane.
The Italian reckoned that Mercedes and Red Bull could have to concede some peak performance in order to dial out the bouncing.“We know you can have it in some places.“But the fact that we heard the same coming from Red Bull, I think highlights that it could be a track-specific element that all teams might have to deal with.
