Even when Red Bull showed up at winter testing last year, it looked like porpoising wouldn't be an issue for them. F1
Speaking at the Autosport International Show, where he took the stage with Alfa Romeo’s aerodynamic consultant Willem Toet, he revealed he knew they were on the top of the problem when he saw the car’s floor during last year’s pre-season testing.
“But there’s coupling, everything is coupled into the car, into the suspension, ect. It’s the structural dynamics, the suspension dynamics, and the aerodynamic effects. Toet explained why those helped, saying: “”The rules were changed to allow teams to add braces to stiffen up the floors, a temporary fix.
“And if your floor is bouncing up and down and reducing the amount of air that can go underneath, then you will get the problem earlier.

Association of red blood cells and plasma transfusion versus red blood cell transfusion only with survival for treatment of major traumatic hemorrhage in prehospital setting in England: a multicenter study - Critical CareBackground In-hospital acute resuscitation in trauma has evolved toward early and balanced transfusion resuscitation with red blood cells (RBC) and plasma being transfused in equal ratios. Being able to deliver this ratio in prehospital environments is a challenge. A combined component, like leukocyte-depleted red cell and plasma (RCP), could facilitate early prehospital resuscitation with RBC and plasma, while at the same time improving logistics for the team. However, there is limited evidence on the clinical benefits of RCP. Objective To compare prehospital transfusion of combined RCP versus RBC alone or RBC and plasma separately (RBC + P) on mortality in trauma bleeding patients. Methods Data were collected prospectively on patients who received prehospital transfusion (RBC + thawed plasma/Lyoplas or RCP) for traumatic hemorrhage from six prehospital services in England (2018–2020). Retrospective data on patients who transfused RBC from 2015 to 2018 were included for comparison. The association between transfusion arms and 24-h and 30-day mortality, adjusting for age, injury mechanism, age, prehospital heart rate and blood pressure, was evaluated using generalized estimating equations. Results Out of 970 recruited patients, 909 fulfilled the study criteria (RBC + P = 391, RCP = 295, RBC = 223). RBC + P patients were older (mean age 42 vs 35 years for RCP and RBC), and 80% had a blunt injury (RCP = 52%, RBC = 56%). RCP and RBC + P were associated with lower odds of death at 24-h, compared to RBC alone (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.69 [95%CI: 0.52; 0.92] and 0.60 [95%CI: 0.32; 1.13], respectively). The lower odds of death for RBC + P and RCP vs RBC were driven by penetrating injury (aOR 0.22 [95%CI: 0.10; 0.53] and 0.39 [95%CI: 0.20; 0.76], respectively). There was no association between RCP or RBC + P with 30-day survival vs RBC. Conclusion Prehospital plasma transfusion for penetrating injury was associated with lower odds of death at 24-h compared to RBC alone.
