Should F1 use accelerometers to limit porpoising?
Minimal height is nice, but will have different effectiveness on different cars and will punish teams that did a better job on controlling the issue.
What if they would use accelerometers to control the issue?
So the determine the average amount of oscillating G-force of the current porpoising of the worst effected cars. Then for now (until medically is determined what is the maximum a driver can safely endure for longterm health) half that current porpoising G-force. So set up the following a car may not over the coarse of a lap:
1 Show oscillations in the currently determined porpoising frequency bandwidth for more than say 3 second straight with a predetermined maximum G-force (as said for now for instance half of the current average).
Would that not go straight to the health and safety concern off the drivers without penalising teams who did a better job at controlling it. Sounds like something would not take ages to implement.
