Red Bull, Ferrari to face new wing deflection test today

[zuludemon]

Its to do with the air over the wing - its been seen on vids before - if you check hungary vids you will see the same thing when Vet is following Alo.

The wing works with clean air - once the wing is in dirty air then there is less downforce and so less deflection - what you are seeing is that happening very quickly as the car goes right the right part of the wing get cleaner air but the left part doesnt so looks like its tilting? but as soon as the car goes left that balances then swaps..

yeah, all the BIG wing movements (flexing) are all Red Bull wings. No other cars wings are flexing SO much and not as blattant as that. I noticed Williams wings flex, tiny bit, mclarens dont, ours do tiny bit aswell. But those ruddy RBRs are way to much. Now that wing movement (tilting) has nothing to do with rake or how the ride height is affecting the front wing. I understand aero enough, and what RBR are doing is very clever. I have never seen that kind of flexing (tilting) before when another car is following another (especially since FLEXI wings were banned)

Im not convinced its so clever - all they are doing is building wings on the edge of 10mm/50kg nothing wrong with that - f1 is meant to be about building things on the limit - all teams have done it in the past.

The reason it seems more unstable than other wings is down to the rake and the height of the wing above the ground - its much more reliant on air flow under and over the wing so when it is disrupted by following another car its all exaggerated.

Jenson on the BBC saying the Red Bull front wing seems to have changed

Of course, they brought a low aero package and less cambered wings to suit Spa as compared to Hungary..PLus the slit in the mainplane is gone...

What was more fishy was that Milton Keynes composite guys were in the paddock this weekend...factory people usually dont attend races
