F1 Teams Innovate Front Wings Amid Stricter Flex Testing Regulations

Formula 1 teams are adapting their front wing designs in response to new technical regulations aimed at reducing excessive flexing. The updated flexi-wing tests for the Spanish Grand Prix now allow only a 10mm deflection under a 1000N load, tightening the previous limit of 15mm.

Our Take:

As teams scramble to comply with these stricter guidelines, we may see a shift in aerodynamic philosophy across the grid. This not only challenges engineers to innovate but also sets the stage for potentially closer racing as teams balance performance with regulatory compliance.
