Regarding the suspension, heave, dampers and stuff that could influence porpoising:
Exactly, Mclaren, Haas and red bull don’t have porpoising so why should they be penalised for getting it right!Stu wrote: ↑23 Apr 2022, 15:26No, no, no!
When a legal solution is possible, and some teams are proving that it can be better controlled (but probably not eliminated), rules should be left as they are.
Not possible to simply fit FRIC without major chassis redesign.
The same arguments were made in 1994 after active suspension was banned.

I am not sure why people are yammering on about it still. Every single person in the media talking about this have no idea. They are journalists and pundits, not aerodynamicists, not engineers, and none have designed even something as simple as a Formula Ford.
Yeah, and only one champion died in 1994 thanks to the ban...Stu wrote: ↑23 Apr 2022, 15:26No, no, no!

No-one ever said that choked airflow doesn't cause porpoising, only that it's not necessarily the cause.
In a ground-effect car it obviously does, no airflow, no downforce. It doesn't exclude other phenomena from causing a loss of downforce before choking can happen, causing an oscillation.
