Hidden mechanisms and concealed parts: What triggered F1's flexi-wing clampdown

The FIA has banned wing elements that can move or rotate, as well as the use of rubber fillets and soft trailing edges that aid flexing. The decision was made after the FIA discovered teams were using clever mechanisms and hidden designs to bypass the rules. This includes components with relative motion against adjacent elements and areas covered with rubber material to hide movement.
