It's coming from the suspension too. Undamped heave mode.
It is not like a road bump, you cannot just damp it out. It is an oscillatory force, not an impulse: you may reduce the amplitude by increasing the damping (it does not necessary work, by the way), but you then have issues when hitting curbs and in general in optimizing the mechanical grip.
RB have a bit of pprpoising this weekend but the amplitude is tiny in comparison to the Mercedes.
Yes, I saw it, but that just means that they are able to better handle the issue. It may be for multiple reasons. Maybe RB is able to run higher without loosing too much downforce, maybe RB underfloor design is less prone to "choking" and causing porpoising, maybe they produce less downforce from the floor, maybe the downforce produced by the floor is more towards the front of the car and so on...
There are tons of reasons for which this is happening.
