Are F1 flexing material gurus at it again?
« on: June 12, 2016, 02:33:51 PM »
Ferrari rear wing/monkey seat & RBR's f/wing noticeably flexing at GP.

FIA keeping eye out for wrongdoing, both teams pass tests at present. Not sure we need yet more restrictions from FIA when the racing is getting so good?  :DntKnw:   

 
     FIA has eye on Ferrari and Red Bull flexing bodywork

Some flexing bodywork on the 2016 car has caught the eye of some rival teams, and is being watched closely during the Canadian Grand Prix weekend at the high speed Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal.

Auto Motor und Sport reports that at high speed the rear wing and ‘monkey seat’ of the red car flex, providing a likely aerodynamic advantage.       

Not only that, correspondent Michael Schmidt said details on Red Bull’s front wing is also attracting attention, even though both the team and Ferrari are passing all of the current FIA flex tests.

He reports that the FIA is aware of the issue and could invoke Article 3.15 of the technical regulations that forbids any part of the car to move for aerodynamic gain.
