The FIA will introduce tighter floor regulations for the Belgian Grand Prix following a meeting of the F1 Commissio꧋n in Austria.

The new technical directive was introduced following safety car concerns about porpoising and bouncing on the straights in Baku after Lewis Hamilton struggled ꧒to get out of his Mercedes cockpit.

In recent weeks, speculation about flexible floors has come to light with a number of teams rumoured to have fo🙈und a loophole ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚin this area of the regulations.

• Teams given two races to solve porpoising befo𝐆re new rules
• ‘We need to educate people’ - Wolff slam🥂s F1 fans for cheerin✃g Hamilton crash
• F1 increase budget🍒 cap and delay flexi-floor rule - does it suit Red Bull most?

Currently, there is a 2mm tolerance of how much the floor plank can flex but some teams are rumoured to be exceeding that and th🃏us having an aerodynamic benefit as they can run their cಞars closer to the ground.

With Mercedes wanting to get back i𒆙nto contention for race wins, Wolff admitted that they are disappointed the directive isn’t going to be ꦛin place for France as originally planned.

“Yeah I think so, Wolff replied when asked if he thought rival teams were circumnavigating the rules. Well I don’t know [who]. I haven’t been able to squeeze the skids of certain tea🌃ms. We are looking at our competitors. 

“Probably I woಞuld have wished that the TD co𒁏mes in a little bit earlier but it is what it is, it comes in at Spa and after Spa we won’t see that anymore.”

Horner was then asked about Wolff’s aforementioned comments, making a sly dig that the German is “referring to cars th🤡at are around him at the moment”, referencing Mercedes fighting in the midfield at times this season.

“That is total rubbish, total rubbish! We are getting issues mixed up here, Horner added. “Maybe [Wolff] is referring to cars that are around him at the moment. I have no🍷 idea. We have absolutely no issues or concern♎s on our floor.”

Horner once again questioned the FIA’s intervention, particularly as porpoising wasn’t an issue ♕at la👍st weekend’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

“The technical directive is focused on bouncing, porpoꦰ♊ising, which only certain cars have struggled with,” Horner explained. “It is due for further discussion in the technical working group, which is the correct forum for it. Because, as we saw at Silverstone, no cars were really affected by it.

🐻“Is it the duty of the competitor to make sure the car is safe? Or the duty of the FIA to make sure the competitor runs their car safely🍸?”
