Seems this flexiwings saga is continuing, and possibly heating up. Maybe a protest could occur?
Red Bull is taking aim at the front wings of McLaren and Ferrari. Targeted bending is supposed to make them a miracle weapon. Now Mercedes has also taken a giant step with its new bending wing. What is the secret?
Red Bull is pointing the finger more and more openly at the front wings of McLaren and Ferrari, which are said to bend too much under the corresponding load. They wanted to use Aston Martin to protest. But they didn't want to hear of it. It is suspected that the technical office in Silverstone is working on a similar solution.
Mercedes also suspected that the secret of the McLaren and Ferrari lay more in the front wing than in the underbody. But instead of taking action against the competition, they have now taken the initiative themselves. The new Mercedes front wing is also said to belong to the family of legal flexible wings and is playing a significant role in the Silver Arrows suddenly learning to walk. The car is suddenly easier to balance and the drivers have more confidence.
"If this continues to be tolerated, we will have to go the same way," says Red Bull
