The FIA wants to act quickly. He didn’t want to wait any longer. According to ‘Motorsport.com’, the International Automobile Federation suspects that some teams may be violating F1’s technical regulations by using front wings that perform the distortion voluntarily sought by the sets that it (to be determined) to increase its performance on the track through the aforementioned wing distortion.
According to ‘Motorsport.com’, the FIA has issued a technical directive to clarify to all teams which wing designs it considers acceptable with regard to flexible bodywork. In the document discovered by the aforementioned publication, which was sent to the F1 teams at the last GP of the Netherlands, the FIA reports that some teams take advantage of “localized and deliberately designed compliance zones” and some “relative motion between adjacent parts. ” to greatly increase its downforce.
This document also recalls that any design that meets the aforementioned description violates article 3.2.2 of the Formula 1 Technical Regulations. This article states that all components that directly or indirectly influence the aerodynamic performance of a car must be “firmly fixed and immovable with respect to their frame of reference defined in article 3.3”. That is, anyone who suffers a distortion greater than what is allowed is violating the standard.
The article indicates that “in addition, these substances must create a uniform, solid, hard, continuous and impervious surface at all times.”
The FIA will scrutinize all the cars and their designs
After the release of said clarification, today the FIA has gone further and, according to ‘Motorsport.com’, will examine each car in detail after this weekend’s Italian GP in Monza because it believes that some teams using systems that rotate or bend the front wings while running, a distortion which however cannot be detected in the standard stationary tests carried out by the FIA.
In the document sent to the teams at Zandvoort, the FIA detailed the four main design elements that could break the rules and the exceptions that would be allowed. Now, before September 8, teams must submit to the FIA car designs, plans and various elements related to the front wing and its attachment to the nose, as well as the wing on rear so that the FIA can check each one. car in detail to determine if any team wants to violate the regulations by creating their parts to gain an aerodynamic advantage through a distortion that is not allowed.
Anyone who does not comply with the regulations must do so from the Singapore Grand Prix. This is where the new technical directive comes in, so teams will still be able to use their current wings this weekend at Monza.
