'Porpoising' in cars has been a major issue for drivers and teams to deal with following the latest round of regulation changes, with Mercedes in particular struggling. Those issues reared their head again for Mercedes in Friday's qualifying session for the Emilia Romagna Sprint, who got through to the second round by the skin of their teeth but were swiftly eliminated. "I think it’s going to be interesting with the porpoising issues. Despite Mercedes' issues, the defending Constructor's Champions sit second in the standings after the opening three rounds of the season - though this is largely due to Red Bull's reliability issues. Russell is behind only Charles Leclerc in the Driver's Championship, with a third-placed finish last time out in Australia.
