“We have to prevent becoming a cane at the age of 30.”
famous ‘pour it up‘The repeated bounce of the new F1 car, which occurs at high speeds in the 2022 single-seater due to the sudden loss of ground effect and subsequent activation, has made some drivers uneasy and has caused intense controversy. .. The first was Lewis Hamilton. He complained in Baku during a painful race that was constantly causing ascending and descending at speeds above 300km / h. “It’s killing my back”Briton said, so he had a hard time getting out of his car. The Mercedes boss has revealed that this cannot be followed in this way. But his case was in contrast to the case of other cars on the grid that were able to overcome this constant jump. When that bounce looked like only Mercedes and a few things, Baku It reappeared through a long straight and its potholes.The Ferrari of Sainz It bounced a lot and was able to reduce its “porpoise” to a point acceptable to the pilot.And F1’s TV production cameras also focused on dissatisfaction with Hamilton’s huge rebound. Pierre GuthrieLiterally jump with him Alpha Taurus.
“I have never experienced this feeling.” The French finished fifth in the Bak GP training, but were so annoyed by their rebounds and physical consequences that they did not hesitate to change their technical rules to prevent this.
“It’s not healthy, it’s for sure. It’s just a bump down your spine.”
“It’s not healthy, it’s for sure. My (disc) disc hurts, so I had a physiotherapy session before and after each session. There is literally no stop. They are just a blow through your spine. “Guthrie said. His words are the same as Toto Wolff, who said, “This is no longer muscular.” It can reach the spine and have consequences. I don’t think it’s just Lewis’s problem. In general, it also affects many others. ”
Nevertheless, In response to Hamilton and Wolff’s words, Horner said that if his car bounces as much as Mercedes, what he does exactly is to ask his driver to complain... He said these regrets were simply “part of the game.” Therefore, Mercedes’ complaints became clear that the Star Team was unable to completely end the “porpoise” and was part of the pressure the FIA would like to change its technical rules. Horner thought it was “unfair” for the FIA to succumb.
They ask the FIA to act
In that sense, both Horner and Norris pointed out that there are ways to reduce that rebound. Increasing the height of the car will reduce performance. But when Guthrie was asked about it, he was frank and said the FIA couldn’t leave the decision to compete more or less fast with a more or less safe car to the driver and team.
“It’s a tricky part and obviously not sustainable, so we talked at the driver’s briefing and warned about this issue. And we’re asking them to find a solution to prevent us from becoming a cane in our thirties, “Pierre said.
“The team asks me:” Okay, can you compromise the setup? “And I compromise my health for performance. That’s what I always do because I’m a driver and always want the fastest. car. The FIA should give us a binding force that must be negotiated between health and performance. “
A sense of danger
After Lewis said he felt “strange” in the race, AlphaTauri’s driver said, “Swaying the steering can cause the car to move.” Those bounces.
“It’s not easy at that speed. I don’t think we can fix anything until the end of the year, but I hope it will be fixed next year,” Pierre concludes.
