I suspected this last week because although you could hear the sounds of porpoising on board (a good example is the George vs max on board), you could not see any suspension movement or bouncing externally. This is key evidence that the amplitude of porpoising is extremely miniscule on the Merc. Very interesting data, let's see if this allows them to further focus on performance now that their main issue is gone.

Leads one to believe there is more time to be gained by the teams still working on porpoising. Ferrari's still have visible bouncing.
George did say they are still suffering from some porpoising in high speed corners, on straights it is all but gone.
