Could Ferrari benefit from the FIA’s flexi-wing clampdown at this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix?
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff suggested that Ferrari might benefit the most from the upcoming F1 flexi-wing clampdown due to their conservative design. The FIA is implementing stricter load tests on the front wing beginning with the Spanish Grand Prix. The ongoing flexible bodywork issue gained attention since accusations surrounding McLaren’s rear wing arose following Oscar Piastri’s win in Azerbaijan. Wolff remarked that Ferrari’s front wing design is perceived as the most conservative. If the new tests significantly impact the hierarchy, Ferrari could see the most advantage from these changes. Amid Mercedes’ recent struggles in races like Imola and Monaco, Wolff expressed intrigue about the FIA’s modifications and the team’s focus on returning to form at the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona.
