Mercedes 'porpoising' is becoming a real pain for Russell

The Hindu  

George Russell finished a surprising fourth for Mercedes in Sunday's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix but said his car's 'porpoising' problems were worse than ever and causing him real pain. "When the car and tyres are in the right window the car, except for the bouncing, feels really good to drive," said Russell. "I really hope we find a solution and I hope every team who’s struggling with the bouncing finds a solution because it’s not sustainable for the drivers to continue with this level," added the Briton. "It’s just been a really difficult position for us as a team and perhaps with my struggles at Williams in driving very difficult cars that’s helped in some small regard," said Russell.
