Carlos Sainz the Ferrari Formula One driver has not been a fan of the low downforce cars this season and ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, has dismissed Max Verstappen’s solution to the porpoising issue.
Carlos Sainz has been one of the many drivers who has complained about porpoising this season and after the FIA’s announcement of looking for solutions, is not surprised by the swift response on part of the FIA.
Sainz last week during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix complained of facing physical discomfort in his F1-75 and since then has been desperate for the FIA to take action. After FIA’s announcement, the Spaniard is now pleased and wants a solution as quickly as possible.
Sainz believes that the porpoising issue concerns everyone on the grid and during a recent press conference has said, “To be honest, I wasn’t surprised by the FIA’s quick action. I think we have to look at every detail to see what we have to do in the future. We have to make the right choices to make the cars more forgiving. I think it affects almost everyone because everyone has already tuned the car as low and stiff as possible.”

Carlos Sainz: Max Verstappen’s solution makes no sense
Ahead of the Canadian GP Max was asked to state his opinion on the FIA’s decision to look into the porpoising issue and Dutchman indicated that he is not very pleased with the FIA as he believes that the ride can be made bearable by simply increasing the height of the car and feels that any alteration in the current rules will put the Red Bull team in a disadvantage.
Carlos Sainz was told about Verstappen’s response and the Spaniard completely rejected the Dutchman’s idea by saying, “that is not possible, this ‘solution’ of Verstappen’s does not work.”
The 27-year-old Sainz does not agree with Max Verstappen’s solution and feels the new incoming relaxation will benefit the Red bull team just like all the other teams on the grid.
What do you think is the FIA going to do regarding the porpoising issue that has become a serious issue for the teams up and down the grid?
