So much for Ferrari favouritism. Clearly visible moving wings from two teams. (From the 2007 Technical Regulations) 3.15 Aerodynamic influence: With the exception of the cover described in Article 6.5.2 (when used in the pit lane) and the ducts described in Article 11.4, any specific part of the car influencing its aerodynamic performance: - Must comply with the rules relating to bodywork. - Must be rigidly secured to the entirely sprung part of the car (rigidly secured means not having any degree of freedom). - ***Must remain immobile in relation to the sprung part of the car.*** . . 3.17.6 In order to ensure that the requirements of Article 3.15 are respected, the FIA reserves the right to introduce further load/deflection tests on ***any part of the bodywork which appears to be (or is suspected of), moving whilst the car is in motion***. . So - why is this happening? |
Because it's good for the FIA to have two teams close in performance.
Forcing them to modify their bodywork might upset the balance.

posted really since the middle of last season). Nothing has changed
other than the colour of the bodywork.

Grasped this (^^^) part of the rule yet? |

So - why is this happening? ISTR banging on about the load tests being crap ages ago (I've not posted really since the middle of last season). Nothing has changed other than the colour of the bodywork. |
