F1 Plans To Clamp Down on Bouncing Beginning With French Grand Prix

Formula 1’s governing body has acted to limit the amount that cars can bounce.

The phenomenon has featured in Formula 1 this year after overhauled technical regulations were introduced into the sport.

Porpoising has arisen due to the ground effect, which has returned this year, whereby airflow beneath the intricate bodywork is disrupted, causing the cars to bounce up and down.

There is also a separate bouncing caused by the floors of the cars hitting the track due to the set-up window in which it is optimum for teams to run.
