Yesterday my colleague Igor commented that the FIA would investigate the new rear Ferrari wing if he neglected the rules. The Italian team introduced a snack in the central part of the background of the piece, in an attempt to simulate the effect of the conducto-F. Bridging the gap, obviously.
This is the umpteenth time that a team is trying to take advantage of gaps and/or regulatory ambiguities. Exactly the same problem that now have with the blown diffusers. The decision of the governing body of formula one was not expected; have you considered that the new design of the piece of the Ferrari 150 ° Italy not conforms to legality. Therefore the Italians will have to mount the rear wing of the Grand Prize of Turkey.
Through the official Ferrari Twitter comes this message: the 150 ? Italias mounted the standard rear spoiler once the team was informed that the design tested yesterday could be declared illegal.
Charlie Whiting clarified yesterday after second free practice who had their doubts about it, specifically with regard to article 3.10.3 the technical regulation:
The article 3.10.3 is which affects the separation between planes, the devices that are only vertical and maintain constant distance between profiles. We had a little problem with this issue a few years ago. Separators cannot be away more than 200 mm each other. It is an alternative interpretation of the rule that we will have to discuss.The FIA has finally decided that the new design of the rear of the Ferrari 150 ? Italy wing in breach of that article, by which the team will be left without being able to use it at the Circuit de Catalunya. If this is what happens to have a regulation so ambiguous and open to interpretations, each will try to sweep home.
