Isn't this just another example of "it meets the wording of the rules so it's legal", however? It's no different to other things that are being argued elsewhere as being legal. If they don't want people putting additional endplates on the rear wing then they need to rewrite the relevant part of the tech regs for next year.
Why? Itβs a fairly small area on the wing, which in and of itself is a large contributor of drag.chrstphrln wrote: β29 Jul 2022, 13:26Looks like it will produce significantly more drag. Strange development.
Well the front wing already has endplates so that would be a bit pointless.
It will bring drag (maybe not?), but much more downforce.chrstphrln wrote: β29 Jul 2022, 13:26Looks like it will produce significantly more drag. Strange development.
Yes it is indeed - as the rules are now - its completely legal. But as it is not what was intended with the new rules - there will probably be a TD soon, that will ban solutions like this. This is F1. The engineers exploit the loopholes and grey areas. And the FIA often "closes" these loopholes by rewriting the regulations and by TD.Just_a_fan wrote: β29 Jul 2022, 15:02Isn't this just another example of "it meets the wording of the rules so it's legal", however?

So a specification that only brings advantages in Hungary and Monaco.michl420 wrote: β29 Jul 2022, 16:34It will bring drag (maybe not?), but much more downforce.chrstphrln wrote: β29 Jul 2022, 13:26Looks like it will produce significantly more drag. Strange development.
