Red Bull Racing had to deal with porpoising during the first days of testing in Barcelona. The Austrian racing team was by no means the only team, as almost all of the cars bounced across the road. The team of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez managed to find a solution very quickly, but according to Auto, Motor und Sport the necessary luck may have been involved.
As reigning world champion Red Bull hoped to fight for the prizes again prior to the season, but because of the new regulations the formation did not have an easy time of it. In addition to developing the new car it also had to deal with porpoising.
Red Bull found a quick solution for porpoising
Where other teams are still struggling with the problem after three Grands Prix, Red Bull is different. On the last day of the winter tests in Barcelona, the Austrians managed to bring an update that stopped the bouncing on the road.
"Since Red Bull surprised itself by gaining three-quarters of a second, the competition assumes that Adrian Newey's team found its way out of the porpoising earlier by chance," the medium states. "At standstill, the Red Bull is relatively high at the rear, but the strong sparking betrays that the car sinks with increasing speed without bouncing."
Where is the rest of the article? There must be another paragraph where Horner blames LH for his wife cheating on him.
Hello Paula ? Pull rod front anti dive High rake for increased downforce at medium lower speeds in corners. Dual rate , triple rate? Rear springs. As speed builds car crouches into low downforce much lower rear wing. See sparks. And don't forget that important front bib. I think Mercedes were playing with this in Oz. See sparks.
It looks and im sure it feels ridiculous. Come on aero team. Get your sht together and solve the problem.
Them slow on the brakes tortoise porpoising remind me of that hopping 50's American rock and roll songs hopping on the front seat in a old chevy Nova. In the Ferrari it looks like Marios Brothers. I cant believe its happening. Are they running an 1965 Oldsmobile suspension. Phone Musk maby his got a solution.
Lies. I have seen the Red Bulls still porpoising in the last race.
No one will believe this. RB is like McLaren, too low downforce to begin with.
My thought exactly,sounds like something you would hear at a Irish pub at 4 AM when the conversations are much less coherent.
