Mercedes said they got rid of it in Spain.godlameroso wrote: ↑08 Feb 2023, 22:55Was it the teams who got a handle on porpoising, or did the hotter summer months and tracks at elevation resulting in slightly lower air density help hide the phenomenon? As far as I could tell, RBR were the only ones that had less bouncing consistently regardless of conditions.Andi76 wrote: ↑08 Feb 2023, 08:46The theory that Red Bull found something in the winter that prompted them to change their concept can be safely banished to the realm of fairy tales, because it would have been impossible for a team to overturn its entire concept in the winter, even before the budget cap. The monocoque, which is essential for any concept changes, is defined in July and August, and things like the transmission or radiator are already ready in October. So overturning the concept in the middle of winter is completely impossible.Venturiation wrote: ↑05 Feb 2023, 14:58Redbull can remove sidepods and become the fastest because they don’t have porpoising
Another theory what if Redbull had to change alot their concept and don’t want to show anything to us?
During the winter they found something unseen by others and they had 5o do anyway the show for the ford sponsoring so they showed last year car
Certainly Red Bull doesn't want to show some things, just like in 2022, but the concept has certainly not been overturned. It's not technically possible. It's just that Red Bull doesn't want to reveal anything. That's why they didn't present the new car. The same thing was done in 2022. But that's all there is to it.
That they would win anyway, even with a Zeropod design, because they don't have porpoising - porpoising pretty much everyone already had a handle on before the summer break....
