)The Ferrari-rear wing itself passes all of FIA’s stress tests. The crucial point is the wing’s suspension which goes through the exhaust pipe and sits on the rear crash structure, which also is connected to the upper rear wishbones of the rear suspension. Apparently, the carbon structure grants a certain flexibility or the whole structure gets pulled backwards with increasing speed; possibly supported by the Diffusor which is connected to the rear wing end plates. [...] As the FIA does not test the bendability of neither the rear wing support nor the monkey seat, Ferrari's solution is legal. [...] FIA is thinking about introducing new stress tests to end this.
Most likely because it's a loophole in the regulations. FIA certainly didn't write them with the intention to let the teams build this. Just like programmers want to close back doors in their codes, the FIA wants to close them in their regulation. -unfortunately sacrificing innovations by doing so -, probably in order to keep things kind of fair for everyone.Juzh wrote:But for what purpose would they ban this?

it was not originally reported to be for ferrari. the orginial news said some team has passed the crash test on their new nose, and it was revealed to have been RB.Mamba wrote:Am I understanding correctly that it is only Red Bull with a new shorter nose and not Ferrari as reported on the media or was new the Ferrari nose not ready for this Grand Prix? We only received news of the supposed update this week so it could be in the pipeline for Baku or a following GP?

We all know how important the front of the car is in terms of aerodynamics. If they can develop a shorter nose that will perhaps bring the air around/under the nose in a clearer and less disrupted way a la Williams they should do it. Most other teams with a budget seem to invest in making that area as short and "clean" as possible.poolboy67 wrote:

again with this stupid short nose malarkey. it's as if it was still the most important thing to some people.
