Daniel Ricciardo says the drivers can “macho” their way through porpoising, but for a race, not in the long-term.

The McLaren driver has joined the list of drivers complaining about the bouncing that they endured at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Although Ricciardo finished inside the points, only his second top-ten of this season, he says he was in pain as it felt as if his “brain and spine” had been compressed.

Like his rivals, he’s worried about the long-term effect that the bouncing could have on his body.

He told The Race that while drivers “can macho it if you want”, they can only do that for an individual race, not a season.
