What’s meant with bouncing? If it’s porpoising I’ve not seen any and if it’s simple bouncing over bumpy track surface I don’t understand why that’s a problem because I can’t remember it ever being a problem for Ferrari. They’ve been the class of the field in terms of traction, braking, curb riding for many years now.
I don’t think these things are mutually exclusive. I have never seen Leclerc squaring his tires like this last year. They could be working through setups. Davidson didn’t “imagine” it. We all saw it.CouncilorIrissa wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 01:13Given that even SF23 at its worst was the best car under braking, I trust our Technical Director way more than whatever Davidson has to say.
Of course they were working through setups. They’ve not suddenly lost all their knowledge about suspensions, especially considering their layout didn’t change.AR3-GP wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 01:27I don’t think these things are mutually exclusive.

He made sure to say it isn't porpoising, it seems like the issue is the car hitting the ground too much or too hard going into a braking zone and that affect drivers confidence and how well they can turn in.LM10 wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 01:17What’s meant with bouncing?

If we’re talking about porpoising (which I doubt) they were actually the only team having zero problems with porpoising with the F1-75. It was the fastest car despite it.
Car is perfect under braking today.Sevach wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 09:50He made sure to say it isn't porpoising, it seems like the issue is the car hitting the ground too much or too hard going into a braking zone and that affect drivers confidence and how well they can turn in.LM10 wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 01:17What’s meant with bouncing?

The SF-23 was very good under braking as some have pointed out here, but i wonder if in trying to step up it's mid corner and high speed grip they made it worst in this area.
Still could be just a experimental setup so let's wait.
Turn 4, Turn 11 still seems bit underwhelming. Though I don't think they are trying to setup the car for this specific track right now.Don't think car is setup at lowest ride height possible as well.dialtone wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 09:55Car is perfect under braking today.Sevach wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 09:50He made sure to say it isn't porpoising, it seems like the issue is the car hitting the ground too much or too hard going into a braking zone and that affect drivers confidence and how well they can turn in.LM10 wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 01:17

Bahrain setups are naturally understeery, it's rear axle protection galore.jambuka wrote: ↑22 Feb 2024, 10:06Turn 4, Turn 11 still seems bit underwhelming.
