Comparison of the rear wing flex on Merc and Red Bull




Alpines flexes quite a lot as well apparently

Good video, I was trying to find one earlier but wasn't having much joy. To be honest I think that should all be allowed seeing it passes the flex tests, with one proviso. If you have more than two failures you are thrown out of the championship for running a dangerous car.

Good vid. Red Bull have always sought to undermine the technical regs in this area since they first started playing with flexi wings in 2011. You can't give them the benefit of the doubt here... they're guilty of technical infringement yet again.

It might help them with their tyre management issues. Just depends if they will be sitting ducks on the straights again.

Wow. No injuries according to the Dutch report I read. Lucky considering the speed they were all flying off the track!

Also, the British GP this year will have quality at 7pm (?) Friday, quali race at 4:30 sat, and full race at 3pm Sunday.

Yeah, quite like it. Not sure about the nose (grey on the edges) or halo, but overall it's pretty nice.

This is amusing.

"If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'" is the mantra of all race teams.

Of course they are looking for ways around the regs to give them an advantage. All the teams do it, it is integral to F1. If they amend the rules to fix a loophole, then thats how it plays out. As it is, afaik, the wing passed the FIA checks to be declared legal up to this point.

Should be kudos to Red Bull for finding an advantage.
