Chinese Grand Prix: Will F1 flexi-wing clampdown impact pecking order in Shanghai after rule change? | F1 News happymamay

After only one race of the new 2025 season Formula 1, there is a great technical point of discussion after FIA decided to stick to the Chinese Grand Prix this week.

10 F1 teams will have to pass flexibility tests in the background more strict than Shanghai on a rookie, or to face a potential insecurity of an illegal car.

After the so -called “Mini -DRS” controversy last season about the level of the body bending that is seen on the wings of some teams at running quickly – an episode witnessed McLaren agreeing to make adjustments to its design after the Azerbaijan GP season – FIA confirmed in January that it was specifying the new download tests for acquisitions for 2025.

“Basically the gap in the back wing between the main plane and the flap that moves to doctors, there is a definition of what the gap is,” he explained. Sky SPORTS F1Bernie Collins in the latest episode of F1 offer.

“They apply a load to that and try to make sure that when they apply this pregnancy, it does not deviate from a certain amount. This allowed a 2 mm deviation and now it is allowed to bend by 0.5 mm. So they really reduced the amount that can be transformed when the load is placed on it.

“The interesting thing is that they did so quickly, so all the teams are currently transferring everything from Australia to China.

“Any team failed last week, will have a major shift to pass it this week, which makes me wonder if they believe that the team will go with the current preparation.”

The boundaries of the new deviation of the rear wings of the first round were presented at the end of last week in Melbourne, while additional concerns about the front fold of the test changes that were provided by the Spanish GP in June are processed in the ninth round of the season.

But after the new conspiracies about the rear praise on the new 2025 cars in the pre -season test last season led to an additional monitoring in Melbourne, Melbourne, with additional cameras on cars during training sessions, the ruling authority informed the difference on Monday from a new tightening of what will be allowed now regarding the movement in the upper rear wing in fixed tests of the second season.

While FIA ​​confirmed all cars passed the tests in Melbourne, and therefore the entire network ran legally, it decided to assessments and analysis in Albert Park that “sufficient reasons for the most striking test” in its place of Shanghai on the right.

Sky SPORTS F1 Pit Lane Ted Kravitz has noticed some of the best teams examining their background in Melbourne, which is likely to be a greater theme in Shanghai with new tests.

“I saw McLaren perform his own tests. I saw Ferrari performing her own tests. You can hardly see some of the sponsors’ slogans for all the contact points stickers that were on different wings for all the teams throughout the weekend.

“The question for me is, it is clear that this is one, two, or three teams who excite the teams that they think are in a gray area for this purpose.

“The only thing that falls in the back of my head is, it is the amount of participation in the difference, who think they will be a problem to say to FIA,” see, this is completely impossible. You can’t expect us in a successive game to build completely new wings. “

“If this is the case, then I think it will be a big thing, but there is something in my mind telling me that the teams that provide the border with the flexibility of Aero should have said,” Well, bring your new rules if this is what you want to do, “knowing that they were able to pass them and that they might have these data from Australia.”
