Carlos Sainz is completely fed up with the porpoising of his Ferrari. The Spaniard says that several drivers are done with it and that the problem cannot continue much longer. In addition, he says that the FIA as been informed by the teams to look into it.
FIA must intervene according to Sainz
Sainz says at The Race that the bouncing of his Ferrari F1-75 in Baku was very painful. He says the drivers are in agreement and that the problem cannot continue in the long run. "We have kindly asked the FIA to look at it and not listen so much to the teams, but to us," Sainz lets us know.
"We are saying that it is getting to a point where we are struggling to cope," Sainz continued. He suggests towards an improvement in the area of suspension. Sainz thinks there are already engineers who already have the answer to reduce porpoising, but adds that the FIA is needed to act as quickly as possible.
Many drivers are struggling
Sainz, as he said himself, was not the only driver who suffered a lot from the bouncing of his car. Lewis Hamilton struggled to climb out of his car after the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. His teammate George Russell says the porpoising makes racing difficult, adding that Max Verstappen also says it is difficult to drive with. Pierre Gasly on Tuesday also joined the ranks of drivers who would like to see porpoising investigated.
