F1 cars generate maximum downforce where it's unwanted — on straights. But this aero pressure is critical when cornering at similar speeds. Mercedes' James Allison details the conundrum that taxes racing's greatest minds
James Allison's articulate way of expressing technical matters always makes for an interesting interview – and in Brazil last year, as he talked us through the '23 season, he made a few observations about why it has taken so long to understand the full implications of the venturi underbody regulations introduced a couple of years ago.
Although the conflict between good underbody downforce and the onset of mechanical bouncing (which is quite a separate phenomenon from aerodynamic porpoising) is widely known now, there's more to it than just that, as he explains...
