The competition is already underway. Formula 1 began to take shape and drivers began to give their first feelings about the new technologies they are implementing in their vehicles after the new regulations presented by the FIA.
With these changes, the vehicles were changed by 80% in terms of aerodynamics. The main novelty is the return of the so-called “ground effect”, which allows a car to travel close to the floor, have a better air intake and exit and gain speed, however, that is where the problem lies for drivers.
When the protagonists step on the accelerator on a straight, reaching 300 km/h, and then braking to take a corner, what is called “porpoising” or “rebound” occurs in the vehicle that directly impacts the drivers and their health,” Sergio Checo Pérez publicly acknowledged.
“You reach 300 km/h, which is when the subject comes up and with these problems you can even lose your vision during braking or not being able to locate the car properly. It is a complicated issue especially in the races, if you go without DRS, which is when it is most noticeable in the car, there are moments that become undrivable,” said the Mexican.
The Red Bull rider was not the only one to comment on it and joined a list of colleagues such as Fernando Alonso y Ocon (Alpinne) or Carlos Sainz and Leclerc (Ferrar), who believe that something needs to be done to change this point.
Apparently, neither the teams themselves nor the FIA would have noticed this drawback since it is a phenomenon that occurs when the car reaches or exceeds 300 km/h. In wind tunnel tests, speeds are usually limited to 250.
The Europa Press agency decided to ask an expert neurosurgeon about the consequences that the pilot could have on his physique, considering that such a rebound could affect both the cervical spine and the head. “What is certain is that pilots will have to continue training their cervical muscles with intensity,” acknowledged professional Pablo Clavel.
“Due to this type of repetitive bouncing head movements, they could lead to cervical ligament or disc injuries over time,” he said with regard to this “rebound effect” by which the teams have already got down to work to reduce it to the maximum.
It should be noted that the experts of La Máxima assured that in a period of five races they will have solved the problem.
