FIA Confirms No Changes to Front Wing Tests

The FIA has confirmed that there will be no changes to its front wing flex tests for the upcoming Formula 1 season, despite ongoing debates regarding the flexibility of wing designs from teams like McLaren and Mercedes. Following the use of cameras during the Belgian Grand Prix to monitor wing performance, FIA head Nikolas Tombazis highlighted the challenges in standardizing tests due to the diverse aerodynamic loads and designs among competing cars. The FIA's conclusion is that all current wing designs meet regulatory requirements, which helps maintain consistency and prevents teams from misallocating resources based on fluctuating standards.
