Stricter LOAD TEST to prevent the use of ADJUSTABLE REAR WINGS

The FIA ​​is planning stricter load tests for the rear wings, in order to prevent teams from using flexible wings that bend at high loads, thus giving the teams an aerodynamic benefit.

Adjustable or flexible wings can change shape or position when racing Formula 1 reach maximum speed. However, there is a fear that the wings could fly off and cause an accident, so he wants to FIA restrict their use by introducing them stricter stress tests.

Technical Chief FIA for single seats Nicholas Tombazis he said another update is needed for the tests. “We are looking at the flexibility of the rear wing and hope to improve the regulation in terms of deflection test in the near future. We want to do this carefully, so we don’t want to rush and make the wrong decision. In fact, the traditional best deviations for aero-elasticity are the ones that most mimic actual load cases where you can see the component on the track," so Tombazis.

The FIA ​​wants to introduce stricter rear wing load tests. Although no one has been blamed, there is a suspicion that the rear wings have become too flexible lately.

Grk said the plan test changes it does not arise from a suspicion of what an individual team is doing with its race car. “We think the test may be a bit outdated and the teams may be using the fact that the load test and the actual load are a little different. Therefore, they design the wings so that they are most resistant where the FIA ​​performs a load test, and less resistant to places affected by air load. We’re trying to tackle this matter, which isn’t five minutes of work. However, it is on our list of works,”He concluded Tombazis.  

But it is now the target of a new policy change Red Bull? Apparently, their hind wings are supposed to bend more than allowed.

All birds on the roof they know to say that in this case it is supposed to be a team Red Bull, in which hind wings according to competitors bends slightly across the border allowed or written in the rules.
