Statements about the infamous porpoising and the intense bounces it causes in this year’s cars Formula 1made the AlphaTauri pilot, Pierre Gusly.
The 26-year-old Frenchman stressed that suffers from severe pain in his spine due to bounces, expressing concern about the long-term effects this may have on his health.
At the same time, she blamed the FIA, saying it was wrong for her to make drivers choose between their health and the performance of their cars.
“It simply came to our notice then. I do physiotherapy before and after each test or race period because my spine suffers from porpoising. It’s like there is no suspension, it just pierces your spine. The team asks me if there can be a compromise with setting up the car, but that puts my health at risk, for extra performance on the track. But I will always do it because I am a driver. I will always try to have the fastest car. However, I do not believe that the FIA ​​should put us in a corner where we have to decide between our health and the performance of the car. This is not sustainable. That’s why we are discussing it with the drivers to find a solution, because we do not want to end up in our 30s walking with a cane “.
“The mirrors sway like crazy. It is as if the frequency of the vibrations increases significantly and the visibility worsens. Sometimes the car moves on its own because the steering wheel trembles at these speeds. It’s not easy. I hope this changes, but I do not think it will happen before the end of the season. May it be done next year “.
