Rear wing being made to be changed from the FIA

[Jurgen von Diaz]

Do they have to modify their wing for Singapore or afterward?

[Darth-Piekus]

Any source on that?

It’s the low DF wing that showed that behavior due to how it’s shaped at the edge. This doesn’t happen on the high df because they never rotate to negative AoA.

[jrdls]

Has anyone else reported this?

Even if they modify it I dont think that this wing really made a difference and I wouldnt count the RBR daily as consistent. I want to see something official from the FIA.

AMus are the one to initially report it - reposted by RBR daily.

Been plenty discussion on how much that wing flex will gain so pointless going down that again - see flexing thread for details

That RW will not be used anyway by the end of the season, that was specifically made for SPA, Mozna & BAKU, correct me if I'm wrong but till the end, no other track require that low level of downforce set up on the rear.

Las Vegas obviously will have the same wing.

AmuS is reliable though.

I think it likely did make a difference. A few km/h prevented Charles to close the gap before DRS. Maybe Max would have passed Norris when he still had fresh tyres.

[Darth-Piekus]

Remains to be seen. Waiting to see what the FIA will say.

Or the ultra low down force wing.

If AMuS are reporting it, I think it's true.

[Emag]

I am glad this happened to be honest. Too much fuss over such a small thing because it was operating in controversial circumstances by exploiting the DRS opening. If they do end up winning the WCC, doing it with a rear wing which was not perceived well by the general public would have tainted it somewhat.

It's better like this.

[Darth-Piekus]

Im pretty sure Mclaren has a plan B ready even for this situation.
