Mike Krack spoke about the Flexing floors regulations being knocked down that gave some teams, the specific advantage over the porpoising issues. This came as a shocker for the Aston Martin team boss, the flexible floors helped a lot from the bouncing and could lead to a solution for the Martin team to get themselves a level up in the championship.

Red Bull and Ferrari are the two teams that are also rumoured get to a significant advantage from the mobile floors which, according to the regulations, comes out to be an outplayed source of getting an unfair advantage over the other teams. Regulations clearly state that no mobile parts should be present in the car that might provide good timings on the screens. Last year things heated up between Red Bull and Mercedes for a flexible back wing in a few races.

“Yeah, it gives us a hint, it gives us a hint. And we need to see with Andrew [Green] and the guys if we’re exploring everything we can there,” said Mike.

“I was as well, but I was really, I don’t know if he just said it or not! But we discussed the topic, actually, even this morning, we discussed about it. We need to find out what’s going on there,” Mike added his discussion with Toto Wolff regarding the flexible floor covering up Porpoising that lead Wolff into a “shocker” too.

With FIA bringing now safety regulations in the 2023 season, teams don’t completely agree with the body’s decision, and so does Mike Krack. He agreed with the decision to bring the regulations as safety stays the number one priority but also wants it to settle at a low cost.

“Safety’s first, and we need to support FIA in making the cars safe,” he said.“Now, obviously, the less change you have, the closer the cars in theory will be together. And change is very expensive. So from that point of view, yes, we want not as many changes or the least change that you can have. On the other hand, we need to support the FIA by making it safe,” he added.

With the Halo introduced in 2018, now has saved a lot of lives, regulations might take some time to get themselves into play but when they do, it becomes the most important concern for the teams to play for.
