Red Bull boss Christian Horner frustrated by cost of "strange" F1 rule change that was “probably not needed"

In a bid to eradicate the issues teams faced last year with the168澳洲5最新开奖结果: porpoising phenomenon, the FIA have pushed through168澳洲5最新开奖结果: changes for 2023 th🌠at have forced teams to raise the floor edges on their cars by 15mm.
The FIA also intervened b✱y enforcing a new technical directive midway through last season amid a flexi-floor saga in which Mercedes suspected that Red Bull and Ferrari were pushing the boundaries of 🍌the rules.
Horner argued at the time it was unfair for the FIA to change the rules ove🐓r the porpoising complaints just because certain teams - mainly Mercedes - had not got on top of the issue.
By the end of 2💫022 porpoising was no longer a big problem and Horner reckons the decision to implement 🦩tweaks for the upcoming campaign could prove to be an expensive knee-jerk reaction.
“I think we have to wait and see, the first snapshot will be the testing in B🅰ahrain,” he told Au𝄹to Motor und Sport.
“It’s a little bit strange, because obviously there was a big push to get all♑ of this changed, and the changes came through around Spa last year.
“But byꩵ the end of the year, there was very little porpoising.”
Horner added: “My argument at the time was will 🐠it not just get sorted out, w𒐪hich it did.
“So we’ve gone through quite a lot of expense, for all the teams in a 𓆉big regulati♐on 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 necessary.&n✤bsp;
“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 solution.
“It won’t necessarily di💜ssipate [porp𒉰oising] completely, but it will be a step less.”
