A new technical directive has tightened the scrutiny on aero-elastic front wings, aimed at curbing balance shifts and aiding in tire degradation – though the impact on performance has been marginal.

The FIA recently approved a rule requiring drivers to use at least three sets of tires in Monaco, aiming to increase strategic variety. The introduction of the new C6 tire,…
