Porpoising just makes things erratic and thus throws an element of unpredictable luck into the equation. It seems to be like speed wobble on a bike. Two different drivers in the same car and one suffers it and the other does not.

The new rules do allow sustained closer running but they were designed with DRS as part of them. It may be that they slowly ween the teams off DRS over time. I don’t think it will help if they suddenly go cold turkey.
Overtaking was doubly difficult yesterday because for the majority of the race there was a single dry line and the straight isn’t long enough for a traditional slipstream overtake.

DRS might be artificial and a spectacle, but shouldn't f1 be a spectacle?
better that than a boring procession for 60 odd laps as was previous.
the porpoising just makes a joke of f1 for me, supposedly the pinnacle of engineering technology, having cars bouncing down the track isn't a good look.

Problem is that it's artificial, it allows ridiculous spectacles such as we had with drivers emergency braking to pass the DRS activation line second, and if the car ahead of you gets DRS from another car up the road then it doesn't help you overtake anyway - so it comes down to luck as much as anything as to whether its effective.
I thought the move to bouncy castle aero was meant to allow closer running and more traditional overtaking?
