F1 cannot risk an 'NFL situation' by doing nothing on the dangers of porpoising, according to Mercedes boss Wolff. 'Frequencies of one or two hertz over several minutes can lead to long-term brain damage. We have six to seven hertz over several hours.'
Wolff warned the FIA could not ignore the data pointing to the possible dangers of porpoising, noting the medical research conducted with American Football players relating to head injuries after repetitive impacts through their careers.
"The FIA has just no option than to do something, and I think that trying to leave things alone, or have teams lobbying for it or against it, it's just completely irrelevant. Red Bull team boss Christian Horner said in France that the"lobbying" to change the rules for 2023 were to help a"certain team", hinting at Mercedes.
