Re: Ferrari's wings
Hmm... I wonder what that new red piece is for? Covering up the evidence? Or is it now properly attached?

Re: Ferrari's wings
probably doesn't matter, I don't think the minute separation made much of a difference.

Re: Ferrari's wings
Probably correct there isn't a big difference in performance. However, we all know Ferrari always play by the rules () so we are just bringing to their attention the fact that this could be percieved as less than squeaky clean.

Re: Ferrari's wings
Hmmm... I was half expecting to find a changed title, which would include the squeaky clean Mclaren and BMW who were told to change wings (which they did, as well as Ferrari), but hey, Ferrari are the bad guys, so I understand this singling them out.
Apparently the issue wasn't the side movement but the possibility of the winglet changing angle due to being hinged on the pin, and that red piece eliminates the possibility of that. Have you noticed just how much the front wings on the Renaults were changing the angle of attack due to flex during OZ GP? I'm very surprised no one protested that!

Design or not, admit anything or not, Ferrari was just one of the three teams that had to (was told to?) change their wing design, and the reason for singling them out is that they are not only the only ones who, when in the same group as Mclaren, can be bad guys, but also the ones who have to be.

Trust me, nothing would please me more that to know F1 was fair and even handed. It is just that time and time again it proves not to be the case. Obviously we are both biased in the way we view the limited information we have about the issues, but in this case perception is the only reality we've got. Anyway Ferrari have kinda fixed up their problem and were allowed to save face, lets move on. |

Re: Ferrari's wings
Renault had the same issue in the Eurpoean GP. their rear wing element could be seen flexing during th race and they werent hit with any penalties. I agree with the statment that Ferrari seems to get special treatment, if anything they should be expected to adhere to the guidelines more stringently.
