[Saba Sports News] Recently, Frederic Vasseur, the team principal of the Ferrari F1 team, spoke to the media during an interview. He discussed the current issues with the team’s car and stated that the team engineers are urgently addressing the car’s problem of high-speed bouncing that has been persistently troubling them. This issue arose from the introduction of a new floor design during the Spanish Grand Prix, which caused instability and bouncing of the vehicle when driving at high speeds in corners. After the previous Belgian Grand Prix, Vasseur stated, “Addressing the bouncing issue is a key aspect of improving the car’s performance. We will spare no effort in swiftly overcoming this challenge. Simulating the bouncing phenomenon is extremely difficult as it appears and disappears under different race conditions, such as changes in wind direction, making it elusive. We are operating on the edge of technological limits and must proceed with caution at every step.” The bouncing issue of the Ferrari car is caused by multiple complex factors, with the floor design being a critical factor.
