FIA give Red Bull & Ferrari wings all clear
| Sunday 25th July 2010, 19:55 |
The FIA has given the front-wings of both Red Bull and Ferrari the green-light after photographic evidence showed the two flexing.
Both cars went through extra tests during the post-race inspections to test whether or not the wings flexed under acceleration and braking - giving the teams extra downforce.
It is believed several teams informed the FIA of their belief that the wings contravened the rules which stipulate the central part should be 75mm above the reference plane as stated in the technical regulations.
A statement from FIA technical delegate Jo Bauer, confirmed that both the F10 and RB6 front-wings conformed to the regulations and hence no further action will be taken.
It will now be down to the competition to make a decision on whether they look into creating a similar system which lowers the endplates to the ground under pressure.
