Following a complaint from Red Bull regarding the rear wing of rival teams, the FIA has sprung into action ahead of the new season.
At the upcoming Australian Grand Prix later this month, Formula 1 teams will face increased scrutiny regarding their rear wings. This decision was made in response to concerns raised during pre-season testing in Bahrain, particularly by Red Bull who observed potential flexing in rival rear wings. The FIA implemented changes over the winter to reduce wing flexing, with an updated technical directive now requiring teams to provide housings for FIA cameras. These cameras will monitor the rear wings’ movements on track in Melbourne and reference stickers may be used to track any irregularities. The focus is on addressing the use of ‘mini-DRS’ and ensuring compliance with technical regulations, with similar scrutiny expected for front wings starting from the Spanish Grand Prix. Overall, these developments promise to be a central topic as the new F1 season kicks off.
