As reported by Soy Motor, the issue of porpoising has meant that some of the drivers had to take medicine to get rid of the dizziness. But the Frenchman mentioned that the team knows how to fix the issue and they are on it.

“Everyone is suffering at the end because they are new cars and there is a lot to understand. We have seen some reliability issues here and there from our side in Barcelona, but the rest went smoothly. Everything is going well right now. We have seen some rocking by Fernando, but we know how to fix it,” said Ocon.

“On the days when I got into the car, we didn’t have any rocking, which is a positive thing because I didn’t have to take a paracetamol. It can be resolved. When the car goes downhill, it’s worse and I think the headwind in the first corner didn’t help,” said Ocon.
