The FIA says it is evaluating evidence from the Azerbaijan GP to see if it needs to respond to flexible rear wing designs
The FIA is pondering whether to take action about potential flexing rear wings in Formula 1 in the wake of the controversy caused by McLaren’s ‘mini-DRS.’ The behaviour of the McLaren rear wing at last weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix came under the spotlight after footage of its behaviour emerged from television coverage of its rearward facing onboard camera.
In a still current technical directive from the FIA that offers guidelines on flexing wings, it is made that clear that certain behaviours will not be tolerated even if wings are passed as legal in the pits. In the note, the FIA says that it does not consider legal “designs whose structural characteristics are altered by secondary parameters, so as to produce a different deflection characteristic than when stationary during the FIA checks.
