Haas will bring an update package to Spa-Francorchamps, much to the delight of Kevin Magnussen and Mick Schumacher. The drivers hope to finish more often in the points with the improved VF-22, which according to Magnussen, like other Formula 1 cars, had to sacrifice performance to cope with porpoising.
Haas also started the 2022 F1 season with the well-known porpoising problems. Most teams got to grips with the problem after a few races, but Mercedes continued to struggle with a bouncing W13. Toto Wolff's team therefore lobbied the FIA fanatically for a universal solution, and did so successfully. This to the displeasure of a number of teams who solved the problem on their own.
Magnussen, too, believes that porpoising is a problem that every F1 team can solve on its own, if the will is there. "I do think it's something that teams can solve if they really want to," the Dane said in a Haas press release. "But it does come at a cost performance-wise but we’ve done that and many other teams have done it, so the teams who haven’t done it yet will have to."
The Haas driver stressed that solving porpoising had cost some performance initially, but that his team had gradually managed to rebuild that performance without the problem returning. At Spa-Francorchamps, Magnussen and Schumacher hope to improve further with the update package announced by Guenther Steiner that awaits the drivers.
"I do think it's something that teams can solve if they really want to" Agreed. No need for the FIA to get involved just because ONE team is incompetent to solve their own issues
Km right teams can sort it them self but merc wont .becouse toto wants to win any way he can so tot go to fia .so he get what he wants becouse they not doing well .and they keep say they sorted it out from spain and then last race so there was no need to get fia to help them .toto lie to the world with it all
I agree with Mag, teams should be forced by the FIA to solve the porpoising problem, this new metric will do exactly that, teams like Mercedes that want to endanger there drivers can now be penalized. If the FIA didn't work on that oscillation metric, we would have teams lowering and raising their cars when they needed more performance without regard for their drivers. Mag is on point ?
"I agree with Mag, teams should be forced by the FIA to solve the porpoising problem" Where does he say that in the article?????? He says teams can solve it on their own. No need for the FIA fiasco.
"VeganWarrior +3623123-08-2022 12:36 I agree with Mag, teams should be forced by the FIA to solve the porpoising problem" Where in the article does Mag state that teams should be forced by the FIA to solve the problem? He said... "I do think it's something that teams can solve if they really want to," Teams can, and have solved, the issue on their own with the exception of one team thats run by an arrogant narcacist who has an equally arrogant narcacistic driver.
I agree. Saw that too. I wonder if it's a new way of trolling? She always finds a way to stir the comment section. She had to stop with name calling, adding a * to every sentence where she refers to Max as 2021 WC, accusing other users on this blog of being supporters and fans of rapists, etc. Is this the new way to troll for her? (I bet she's going to "report" this comment as "provoking". Not provoking anyone here. Just noting the obvious)
Good for you. I don't care. I am waiting for the results..... I raised one of your ways of trolling the comment section Mods can make their own decisions. It can be clearly seen that your statement is far incorrect from what the original article has said. Your post is factually incorrect yet you always demand proof of statement made by others
If a certain team did not spend their cap on a funny design then maybe they would have had additional finances to solve the bouncing
