3.15 Aerodynamic influence :
With the exception of the driver adjustable bodywork described in Article 3.18 (in addition to minimal parts solely associated with its actuation) and the ducts described in Article 11.4, any specific part of the car influencing its aerodynamic performance :
- must comply with the rules relating to bodywork ;
- must be rigidly secured to the entirely sprung part of the car (rigidly secured means not having any degree of freedom) ;
- must remain immobile in relation to the sprung part of the car.

Look at the 2 structures that holds the wing to the nose cone. They appear almost black in that picture from the shadow. But you can see 2 bright verticle line cutting almost halfway through each of that that support structure. This gap opens up when the wing is under load, so the wing is moving closer to the ground as the car travels at high speed.

Anyone want to send these to Pat Fry? :lol

Thanks!! I see it now. But do we have before and after load pics to compare. Am saying it cause the structure looks rigid, with a groove cut into it.
