F1 teams are reportedly set to face more stringent flexi-wing tests during the upcoming 20✱25 season.

According to Italian publi𒅌cation , F1’s governing body the FIA issued a draft technical directive explaining how flexi-wing tests will become tougher.

𒐪Meanwhile, report these tests will be conducted from the Spanish Grand Prix in June, the ninth round of the 24-race 2025 season.

The FIA is determined to clampdown on loopholes൲ in the regulations which allow for trick flexi-wings.

A source told The Race: “I will be surprised if anyone will be able to play around with flexi win🤪g designs as much as they were before🔥.”

The technical regulations regarding front wing flexibility are laid out in Arti𒀰cle 3.15.4, which states: “When the load is applied symmetrically to both sides of the car, the vertical deflection must be no more than 15mm.

“When the load is applied to only one side of the car, the vertical defle♐ction must be no more than 20mm.

“No part of the trai🌠ling edge of any front wing flap is permitted to deflect more than 5mm when a 60-newton force is applied.”

The revised version of TD18 is thou🦋ght to re𝔍duce the allowance from 15mm down to 10mm.

Flexi-wing saga rumbles on

Flexi-wings became a major talking point t꧃owards the end of last season.

McLaren were asked by the FIA to change their rear wing ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix following𝔍 questions over its legality from their rivals.

On-board camera footage from168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Oscar Piastri’s car appeared to show part of the McLaren’🐭s rear wing moving at high-speed en route to his victory in Azerbaijan.

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur outlined his frustration at what ✱he felt was a black-and-white matter surrounding McLaren’s dubbed ‘mini-DRS’ trick.

“I think there is a kind of confusion 𝕴between what's happened with the front wing and the rea🎃r wing,” said Vasseur in Singapore.

“The front wing, we all agree that it could be a grey area🙈 because the first paragraph of the TD is saying that you can't design a part of the car with the intention of the deformation. Intenti✱on is difficult to manage.

“But the rear wing story, it's completely different because in the article you have also a maxi🧸mum deflection and this is black or white. It's no grey, no dark grey, no light grey. It's black and white and for me, it's clear.”
