Rumor: Mercedes W14 still has porpoising problem

Posted by AR1 staff

Rumor has it that the new Mercedes W14 F1 car may still have a porpoising problem, from all indications in this video.

Hamilton’s head could be seen bouncing a fair amount, and he was only running at slow speeds allowed for a filming day.  The issue would be worse at full throttle.

And in the wet, with raised ride heights, you would expect to see less porpoising anyway.
