Motor racing-F1 governing body to clamp down on ‘flexi-wings’
- Formula 1's governing body will implement stricter tests on wing flexibility starting in the 2025 season, with changes beginning at the season-opening race in Australia on March 16 and additional tests at the Spanish Grand Prix on June 1.
- The FIA stated that these changes aim to eliminate bodywork flexibility as a point of contention and allow teams to adapt without discarding existing components unnecessarily.
- The introduction of these tests follows further analysis by the FIA Single-Seater Department after the 2024 season, marking a shift from their earlier stance of not changing front wing tests.
- McLaren, the eventual champions, had modified their rear wings after discussions with the FIA, ensuring compliance with regulations despite past controversies regarding wing flexibility.
