F1 teams will face tougher flexi-wing tests from next weekend’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Chinese Grand Prix.

Governing body the FIA has been pushing hard to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:clampdown🥂 on the use of flexi-wings during the 2025 F1 seaso💝n, with a technical directive covering rear wing flexibility implemented at last weekend’s Australian Grand Prix.

Further tests under TD18, which relates to front win�♍�g flexing, were scheduled to come into force from the Spanish Grand Prix in June.

This 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:decision irked Red Bull, who questioned why F1’s governing body was waiting until th𝓰e ninth round of the season to conduct such checks.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Red Bull suspect their rivals McLaren and Ferrari a🐬re finding ways to circumveജnt the current regulations.

Following initial observations at the opening round of the season in Melbourne, the FIA says they concluded th൲at “sufficient grounds” exist for a “tougher test” to be introduced in China this weekend.

F1 teams were i⛄nformed of the reviꦉsed test on Monday morning.

"As has b♒een previously communicated, between the end of the 2024 season and the start of the 2025 season, the FIA exercised the authority it is granted under Article 3.15.1 of the Te🅺chnical Regulations to introduce either new or more challenging load-deflection tests for the front wing (from Race 9, Spanish Grand Prix), the upper rear wing, and the beam rear wing. In addition, the FIA requested to the teams to use cameras in Free Practice Sessions to monitor the on-track deformations exhibited by the cars during the Australian Grand Prix.

“Having analysed footage from the rear wing deformations combined to the static deflections measured inside the FIA garage in Melbourne, the FIA has concluded that sufficient grounds exist for a tougher test to be introduced from the forthcoming Chinese Grand Prix on the upper rea💖r wing.

"Mo🐠re specifically, Article 3.15.17, introduced in 2025, states that if 75Kg of vertical load is applied on either extremity of the rear wing mainplane, the distance between the mainplane and the flap (also known as “slot gap”) must not vary by more than 2mm. From the forthcoming Grand Prix in Shanghai, this limit will be reduced to 0.5mm. Due to the💯 short notice for Shanghai only a tolerance of 0.25mm will be added to this new limit.”

Despite the introduction of the stricter te♓st, the FIA stressed that all cars were fou𓃲nd to be legal following the checks which took place in Australia.

“The FIA wishes to further confirm that during the Melbourne event all cars tested against the 🍎requirements of Artic✱le 3.15.17 and found to comply, therefore all cars raced in Melbourne were deemed to be legal,” they concluded.
