Pat Symonds believes one team triggered an overreaction from the FIA on porpoising. F1
Formula 1’s chief technical officer Pat Symonds believes the reaction to porpoising was overblown by the FIA, due to one team doing something “that didn’t work”.
Matters came to a head in Azerbaijan, particularly in the high-speed third sector, with almost all of the cars porpoising – Mercedes were particularly badly affected, withas he climbed out of his W13 at the end of the race.The FIA moved to take steps to control porpoising, starting by analysing the amount of oscillation or acceleration going through a car as it bounced.
Symonds admitted that porpoising had caught him by surprise, and said F1’s preparatory simulations should have allowed them to identify the aerodynamic side-effect before the cars had been created.“We should have had it, though. We had the means to discover it in advance because we were working with dynamic simulations. We used them, for example, to check what happens when a car spins and gets underinflated. So the type of accident that Mark Webber once had in Valencia.
