The👍 Mercedes driver emerged gingerly from his car at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, holding his lower back in obvious distress at the height of M🦹ercedes’ problems with bouncing.

Mercedes were the m🌜ost obviously impacted by the porpoising phenomenon, although other drivers such as Daniel Ricciard♑o described the pain they felt inside a bouncing car.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner appeare🎀🧜d to criticise the rule at the time.

"It would seem unfair to penalise the ones that have done a decent job, versus the ones th💃at have perhaps missed the target slightly,” Horner said.
