The 2023 technical regulations soon to be validated by the World Council

The outcome is near. On Monday, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, president of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, said that technical regulations for the 2023 season will be put to a vote by the World Motor Sport Council this week. “ After discussing the porpoising problem with the 20 pilots of F1 and the 10 team principals, I am pleased to confirm that we will be submitting updated 2023 Technical Regulations to the CMSA this week to address this, in addition to the measures already taken for the remainder of this season,” wrote on Twitter the ex-pilot of rally.

Having discussed the porpoising issue with all 20 @F1 drivers & 10 team principals, I'm happy to confirm that we will be submitting updated 2023 Technical Regulations to the WMSC this week to address this, in addition to the measures already taken for the remainder of this season

This year, with the introduction of a new era of aerodynamics, many teams have complained about bouncing phenomena, caused by the use of ground effect. Extreme cases occurred at the start of the season, notably on the Baku circuit. The FIA ​​had already taken some steps to try to alleviate this problem, including the installation of sensors to calculate the amplitude of rebounds. The measurement of aerodynamic oscillations (AOM) will come into play from the Belgian Grand Prix, upon returning from the summer break.

The new 2023 technical regulations have long been debated, particularly concerning the height of single-seaters. Initially, the FIA ​​wanted to raise the edges of the floors and the diffuser throat by around 25 millimeters, which was not to the taste of some teams. According to the latest rumors, a compromise of 15 millimeters may have been found.
