True, but new front wing may widen operating window and help checo

"Checo actually has the same upgrade, except for one part. Only that part is the most noticeable", Marko points out the sidepods in combination with the bonnet. "That's why people think that Checo doesn't have the upgrades, but he does have the vast majority. The difference in performance between the two cars is only marginal."
….clamps down on what you have been asking for
Motorsport.com says that the monitoring of the front wing will not necessarily lead to anything being outlawed in the current system. They suggest it's about making the rules tighter for 2025
Are there any parts that you think will make it bend more? It just looks the same old with some surface changes to me. The wings of other teams seemed to have been designed around that. Also, I somehow think that modifying it will be a big move since the floor has to work with the wing controlling the airflow.
THey have had many months since asking for clarification, more than enough time to do proper bending FW. I would wager this is one of the reasons why we are only seeing this upgrade now.
Interesting detail from Perez.“I think [we’ve been] just really trying to dial up the set-up from… there’s still a bit of a miscorrelation in the simulator that we’re working on, to start the weekend a lot closer,”
I somehow still doubt it. Wache has been clear ever since early RB19 days that somehow Front Wing is not where the focus is and didn't really buy into what others were doing (probably AM/Merc) early last year. Now sure, if the FIA is just incompetent at fixing the flex and others are exploiting it to find a lot of time, maybe there's some scope but still Red Bull's car is developed differently to work with their floor I think, so I don't expect anything big personally from that this year. Maybe for next year, yeah, but not this year. I still think Red Bull has the most developed and potent floor and that the floor is, relatively speaking doing more heavy lifting in their car as compared to others.
Max: "It's just the middle sector, in some corners I'm understeering a bit much, but at the same time I don't have massive amount of rear grip, so I don't know if I really should take more front flap." Max after flap adjustment: "This is a bit better. I mean, overall, I think the tyres helped, but it's better now, high speed." GP: "We'll schedule for least 9 laps." 
Checo on car balance: "I'm generally happy. I think we picked up some front end at the apex of the low speed. Entry stability was a little bit harder into Turn 5." Checo: "It was positive for the low speed, Turn 1 too, but high speed, medium speed was a little bit much." Bird: "How is the push toggle?" Checo: "It's getting quite a bit neutral at the end of the lap, the entrance of the low speed."
