“And if there is no safety argument, the normal voting process has to be followed when the rules are changed.” F1
One of six teams said to be opposed to changing F1’s rules to try to minimise porpoising, Ferrari’s Mattia Binotto has reportedly said teams could protest if the FIA push ahead with their 2023 rule changes.
Six of the Formula 1 teams, potentially even eight, are at loggerheads with the FIA over their planned rule changes. With drivers worried about their long-term health if their cars continue bouncing, the FIA announced in Canada a technical directive to introduce an Aerodynamic Oscillation Metric [AOM], one that would force the teams to make changes to the car’s set-up should it exceed the maximum level of vertical oscillations permitted.
That was pushed back to the Belgian Grand Prix, with motorsport’s governing body acknowledging it is a short-term fix. As such, for 2023 they intend changing the rules by raising the floor edges by 25mm as well as the underfloor diffuser throat. There will also be more stringent lateral floor deflection tests and a new sensor to quantify aero oscillation., with Binotto disagreeing with the FIA’s safety argument.Auto Motor und Sport“Most teams have long since had bouncing under control and for the race at Spa there are fixed limits anyway.
