The porposing has been an issue with multiple teams on the grid this year. After the Azerbaijan GP race, Lewis Hamilton was even seen suffering from severe back pain.
On the other hand, even Kevin Magnussen has revealed that he suffered from nerve pain because of porpoising. Tobi Gruner from AMuS talked to Toto Wolff about issues with porpoising.

Wolff told him that every driver on the grid has complained against it and wants FIA to look into it. Except for Fernando Alonso who didn’t agree with the consensus among the drivers.
This revelation has surely outraged several F1 fans. Many indicate that the Spaniard is not being serious about the issue as he is among the minority of drivers, who is not facing the issue at Alpine.
