In a bid to eradicate the issues teams faced last year with the168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: porpoising phenomenon, the FIA have pushed through168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: changes for 2023 that 🐻have forced teams to rꦏaise the floor edges on their cars by 15mm. 

The FIA also intervened by enforcing a new technical directive midway through last season amid a flexi-floor saga in which Mercede🤪s suspected that Red Bull and Ferrari were pushing the boundaries of the rules. 

Horner argued at the time it was unfair for the FI♛A to change the rule🀅s over the porpoising complaints just because certain teams - mainly Mercedes - had not got on top of the issue. 

By the end of 2022 porpoising was no longer a big problem and Horner recko💖ns the decision to implement tweaks for the upcoming campaign could prove to be an expensive kne💟e-jerk reaction. 

“I think we have to🦩 wait and see, the firಞst snapshot will be the testing in Bahrain,” he told Auto Motor und Sport. 

“It’s a littl🍸e bit stra🌃nge, because obviously there was a big push to get all of this changed, and the changes came through around Spa last year.

“But by the enꦺd of the year, there was very little porpoising.”

Horner added: “My argument a♑t the time was will it🐲 not just get sorted out, which it did.

“So we’ve gone throܫugh quite a lot of expense, for꧅ all the teams in a big regulation change that probably wasn’t needed.”

But Nikolas Tombazis, the FIA’s single-seater director, insists the decision to make further changes for✅ 2023 were necessa🧜ry. 

“I’ve got no doubt we did the right thing,” he ꧃said. “We tried to find a pragmatic, short-term solution and a medium-term solut🔜ion. 

“It won’t necessarily dissipate [porpois🧸ing] completely, but it will be a step less.”
