Formula One is to introduce new tests to ensure teams are not breaking the rules by using flexible rear wings. The issue was raised by Lewis Hamilton during the Spanish Grand Prix, where he questioned the advantage Red Bull may have gained from using what he called a “bendy” rear wing. After qualifying in Spain where he took pole, Hamilton suggested Red Bull were managing to get round the rigorous tests on movement of wings when the cars are stationary. It will also then use on-board cameras to monitor the wings while in motion, with markings required to enable observation of movement. “We will be looking out for any anomalous behaviour of the deformation of the rear wing,” he said.
