I have no idea what you’re complaining about, TBH. Whatever happens going forward will probably help RBR the most, so you should be happy lol.
Ofcourse I am happy that Red Bull don't have issues with porpoising and have won 6 races in a row.
Like I mentioned before, Toto's bickering has brought about a TD that no team, even Mercedes, really wanted. In Toto's latest interview he admitted that the porpoisiong is "their issue, they need to OWN it".
BTW, here's Dieter Rencken's take:
...
Once at the circuit, it is clear to me that FIA Technical Directive 39 continues to raise ire amongst team bosses, some of whom suspect the decision to allow additional stays and aerodynamic tweaks are designed to benefit Mercedes - since the recent departure from the FIA of Peter Bayer, the governing body's top F1 executive is Shaila-Ann Rao, previously special advisor to Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff.
...
The second topic is 'bouncing' – aka 'porpoising' – and Wolff is said by multiple sources to have aggressively attacked his peers, accusing them of politicking while the safety of drivers is at stake. He maintains at least one driver per team has complained – true, although the loudest complainants have been the drivers of silver cars – but he was given short shrift, with the resounding message being: "Sort your car…"
It was the first such meeting attended by Netflix, so Wolff's table-thumping crusading was recorded in full technicolour, so should make for spicy viewing come next February, but the question remains: Why make fans wait that long, why not flight such footage topically and again later?
...
On Thursday, the FIA issued a TD, a Technical Directive, stating that they would intervene against porpoising. One of the temporary measures the teams were allowed to apply in Canada, however, was the installation of a second 'stay', or a rod that connects the chassis to the floor and makes the floor stiffer.
The teams were already allowed to use a stay, but as the rules in Canada on porpoising by the TD were to become stricter, the FIA gave the teams permission to use a second stay. Mercedes made good use of this and drove with a second stay attached to the car's floor on Friday.
Rival teams found this unusual, because Mercedes had managed to respond to the changes within a day. Moreover, the TD is at odds with the official technical rules, which do not mention the use of a second rod, so one of the rival teams indicated that they would not be surprised if a protest against Mercedes would follow.
Mercedes' did make the 2nd stay black as if to make it less visible and noticeable, and it definitely seems unusual that they would have the area where the 2nd stay would go already designated. It seemed Lewis called Friday's set up "experimental" and perhaps a coy attempt at making it seem like a whimsical spur of the moment decision to add them.
You say that it did nothing so they took them off - why would a TD specifically mention such a solution and Mercedes be prepared with such swiftness? To be suspicious of underhanded dealings is of course something natural to be complaining about.
