You can see them bouncing so much on onboard shots, especially on high speeds. It can't be good for your spine long term. Hope they can come up with a general fix.

Is this why they are increasing the ride height or was it the lesser down force rule change from next season

[–] ptrckstr@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

They did increase the minimum height a bit to make it better indeed.

Oh look, people who said that the FIA should just set a maximum value for vertical stress and then order the violating teams to figure out a way to reduce that were right and not Toto Wolff with his successful lobbying that everyone just raise by 2mm and be done. Who would have thought....

Hamilton said something similar when it was porpoising like a MF.hopefully they can figure out a better set up for next car

During the height of the ground effects Era the teams used to have chiropractors on contract who would see to the driver's needs.

Why would they hire people who make things worse?

IDK. I remember Alan Jones going from the podium straight to the treatment table. Rough ride.

straight to the treatment table

Of a chiropractor or a physical therapist who actually knows what they're doing?

For Alan it was a chiropractor who the team had on contract.
