Ferrari and Red Bull’s team bosses are glad to see the FIA make a clarification on flexi-wings in Formula 1.
Ferrari Team Principal Frederic Vasseur and Red Bull CEO Christian Horner voiced concerns about flexible front wings in Formula 1, accusing McLaren and Mercedes of pushing the limits with their designs. Following strict surveillance at the Belgian GP, the FIA ruled no breaches had occurred but issued a new technical directive for rear wings and front wings starting from Spain’s Round 9. Vasseur welcomed the clarity and timing to adjust the front wing before Barcelona, while Horner noted the significant cost and timing issue for teams to develop a more rigid wing mid-season. Both Ferrari and Red Bull are supportive of the FIA’s efforts to address the flexi-wing controversy despite potential financial implications in the cost-capped era of F1.
