And while I hope and think the chances are slim, they should be zero. Non existent. And that simply is not the case for any team right now.
FYI. Like Franz Tost said, "It's motor racing and not Rolls Royce. If a driver doesn't want to physical stress of it, then let him sit on a couch at home". There will always be dangers and that's why there is a lot of effort in ensuring safety of drivers in an accident. Accident in itself it not a major concern, it's the aftermath that is important and hence, car safety. We are 9 races into the season and there isn't one accident and not even one close to it because of Porpoising. There are other, more dangerous racing series are there in the world where a driver's body roll is a hundred times more than that of an F1 driver. That show is going on. Let's not dramatisize and exaggerate the impact of bouncing on a driver to hide the bad situation of Mercedes car. Everyone knows it and that's why there are no takers for Toto's tears. Mercedes has a bad car and using other teams' manageable problems to ask for regulation changes is stupid. More than anyone else, Toto knows it.
Again, you view the issue in isolation as to only affecting Mercedes.
Gasly climbed out the car in Baku in pain, maybe Tost should replace him? Drivers these days, cant handle 8G going through their spine for 60 odd laps, dont make em like they used to, eh?
And yes, Mercedes car is not as good as previous years. But suggesting it's a bad car is hyperbole. Top 5 every race this year will never be classed as bad, however much you want to spin it.
It's almost as if you see an endemic issue to F1 and because Mercedes are most affected by it, you ok with it continuing.
