Porpoising, as it has been all season, has been one of the big topics discussed during the pre-race driver briefings.

In Baku, Alonso was the only one of the 19 not to complain about the phenomenon that is a consequence of ground effect aerodynamics.

Toto Wolf told Sky Germany: “All drivers got together and agreed that it’s a problem apart from one – Alonso.” But later when it came to speaking to the media, while there were definitely more voices calling for change, there weren’t 19.
