Is it fair to say that the T shaped section (red) would normally prevent flexing of the kind that is suspected to some degree?
And that if it was to flex as far back as the supposed scratches indicate, it would almost certainly have to fold somewhere in the green area, most likely at the 'pivot point' (blue) ... so the material there would have to be very soft (in relative terms) and elastic, no?
Are there any high quality shots available of the car going down a straight that would show that area in great enough detail to draw any conslusions from them?

Then you have the drs gap, must not exceed 85mm and is tested by pulling a ball with that diameter through the wing (between main plane and underside drs flap. Pull force 10nm. If it slips through you are out of spec.
Not really related to the car but i guess a short correction ain't too bad ... it's a disc that gets pushed between the wing elements from the rear of the RW (video) ... not that it would make much of a difference for the test result, i guess ...
