The porpoising issue was the biggest talking point of the first half of the F1 2022 season.
FIA: New porpoising rules to cost ‘half a second’ but the right thing to doFormula 1’s governing body the FIA expects the cars to be around half a second slower in 2023 as a result of the changes made to eliminate porpoising, but believes the rate of development will quickly make up for that deficit.
Among those included a technical directive being enforced at the Belgian Grand Prix to place greater scrutiny on the planks and skid blocks underneath the cars. When pressed how much downforce teams will lose as a result of the changes for 2023, he said: “I don’t think that much. Maybe 15 to 20 downforce points. That will be equivalent to about half a second per lap.Despite the tweaks planned for 2023, Tombazis has admitted it remains to be seen whether they will be enough to completely eradicate porpoising or if the issue will need to be further addressed in the future.
