So the FIA intervened "in the name of safety", there's a new technical directive...
If I read these articles right, they're gonna measure the bouncing and if it's too severe (over a set limit), force the teams to increase ride height (and therefore lose performance). So in a way it's not a bad thing, teams who did the job right will not lose their advantage (and be able to ride lower and have more downforce)... Those who porpoised or bottomed out too much will likely get a ride height penalty and a degradation in performance... Probably not what Mercedes had in mind when they started this campaign...

It's pouring buckets of rain in Canada right now!
