LONDON, June 21 — McLaren’s Lando Norris yesterday said he is conflicted about FIA’s plans to introduce changes to reduce or eliminate the “porpoising” problem affecting this season’s Formula One cars, but added that driver safety was paramount.

This has led to the “porpoising”, in which the cars bounce dramatically at high speeds, like the motion of a porpoise through water. However, Red Bull’s Christian Horner, whose team are leading both championships and have a more stable car, has said it is unfair to change the rules for all mid-season when one team is struggling more than most.

“If there is a real danger that drivers could have long-term health consequences ... or that they could lose focus and crash, then something has to be done. Safety has to come first, and while it might not be affecting me now, these regulations are long term.
