The regulation isn't that if you can pass the static load test then you can use moveable aerodynamic devices. Same for Ferrari who found a cheat for the fuel flow limit. Similar rules apply against certain performance enhancing drugs in sport...they are banned, its not that you can take them as long as the you can cheat the test to hide their use. |

His family name is 'van Kalmthout' but he figured that might be too complicated for the US audience. So, Rinus Veekay it is! And this kid is only 20! And please Philippe don't start the discussion on Veekay being Belgian! ![]()

All wings must have some flex or they will snap...I'm no engineer but have people complaining ever flown? If not watch the wings sometime.

Do you think that the VW emissions test mode program was cheating? Seriously. I'm asking you to answer these in light of your view on RBR.

I aced one class' final because I studied the exam from the prior year and it turned out the professor didn't change the test for my year. Not my problem that I walked in knowing the answers. The professor needed to develop a better test. Just like the FIA.

Instead this particular cheat involves some kind of mechanism to move or rotate the whole rear wing assembly...in order to circumvent the load tests and cheat the moveable bodywork regulations. The mechanism, be it a deformable structure, spring, joint, bearing, pivot, damper or whatever, only has to have sufficient preload to resist the FIA load test, but anything beyond that breaks the preload and allows the component to move or rotate to reduce drag, which contravenes the regulations. The FIA are doubling the static load and pull back tests to stop teams cheating the regs...in addition to adding reference markings on the rear wing assembly to measure any movement at high speed.

I would add that its not just Red Bull who seem to be cheating but also Alpine. Last edited by SenorFunkyPants; 05-16-2021 at 05:50 AM.. |

They found a loophole. Every single team on the grid spends endless resources trying to find loopholes. Double diffusers, DAS, F-duct, etc. This is F1 101. Again, don't hate the player, hate the game.
