Makes you wonder how much noise was coming out of Zak Browns mouth a few months ago about other teams, and now the balls on their court with the flexi devices.
Red Bull could've continued to race the wing in 2021 IF it passed the new tests. It was changed because it would've failed them, else they would have kept running it.
The Red Bull team principal, Christian Horner, denied any infringement, stating their wing had passed all the rigidity tests required by the FIA. However, it is understood the FIA has now written to the teams warning it had observed some cars had passed static tests but may have demonstrated wing movement while in motion.

The teams have been given a month before the new tests and monitoring system come in to allow them to enact any changes necessary. They will be able to use their current designs for the next three meeting.
