I read that a lot. And yes, porpoising was better controlled, but I have been watching live and to me the Merc still seemed closer to the ground. The closest off all.
Then you watched another pre-season test than me. Mercedes was not closer to the ground than Ferrari or Red Bull. And definetely not the closest of all.
We were watching different things then. Merc is so close to the ground that when porpoising the whole side of the floor literally is on the ground.
I'm afraid this is not a very rigorous analysis. You can't just pick one video where the Merc is in a high speed right hander rolling and dragging on the ground, and then find another video of the RB going in a straight line. All cars are skirting the floor depending on the corner, roll angle, bumps etc. The RB floor also is seen to be skating along the ground in many corners as the body rolls.
