FIA issue statement after McLaren, Mercedes front-wing scrutiny
The FIA has clarified its stance on the flexi front-wing issue after concerns were raised by Red Bull and Ferrari about Mercedes and McLaren in F1. Despite passing load-bearing tests, the wings on the W15 and MCL38 are being scrutinized for potentially flexing beyond regulations. Red Bull’s Christian Horner emphasized the need to review the regulations, while Ferrari’s Fred Vasseur vowed to address the matter internally with the FIA. The FIA acknowledged the complexity of front wings and has been monitoring them closely during events, with additional tests planned if needed to ensure compliance. While there are no immediate actions planned, the FIA is considering measures for the medium to long-term to maintain fairness in competition.
