It does not conform to the spirit of the competition

 On the occasion of the Grand Prize of Spain, the controversy came at the hand of Ferrari Formula 1. Its new rear spoiler presented each outgoing that seemed to get out of the norm and quickly, Charlie Whiting and his henchmen made her look in the. By the way, on the day on Thursday, the wing received the approval of the FIA.

The rear spoiler was banned but not by that was outside the norm, if you look at it the wing does, but in voice of the FIA, the new wing did not conform to the spirit of the competition. A phrase that begins to be so hackneyed it has lost much of its meaning. Now would have to ask ourselves: what is the spirit of this competition?.

For already more than two years, Brawn GP revolutionized the circus of formula one with a double diffuser. Following the protests of the teams, which it had designed so, the FIA decided to Ross Brawn and although, lawless, the spoiler no was banned. At that time were already heard voices speaking of the spirit of the competition.
If we adhere to the rules of procedure, this marked not the number of planes of the diffuser for what each team could design it with one, two, three, or those who would like to. Curious that just a year later, the double diffusers were banned.

Last year, controversy has been reproduced in 2011, the flexible wings jumped to the fore. At this point, one of the tests of the FIA that provided the flexibility of this element. The wings of Red Bull not exceeded them in the first instance in even after the Grand Prize of Belgium, were imposed harsh test.
This season, according to the photos, it is clear that the front of Red Bull wings are flexible. That Yes, in any case (seems that still no one really knows), meet the standard. If you look at the rules that says that any aerodynamic element can be mobile, despite overcoming the test, the wing should be declared illegal.
With this I do not mean that a team or another make traps. Each team is to limit regulation and does whatever is necessary. But the result is not always the same. Sometimes the FIA bans, others allow it. And with this the only thing that shows is that the FIA moves as sailboat. It depends on where blow the wind...

In 2009, Brawn GP was a Cinderella that should it stand out. Just the opposite occurred with Renault a few years earlier. His mass-damper was eliminated and thus all the advantage of the gala team. In 2011, despite the dominance of Red Bull (is supposed to show it is appropriate that both McLaren and Ferrari come), the new wing of Ferrari has not received the OK. The thing just not here. Broadcasters blown, invented by Red Bull, and that much of the grid has implemented, it seems that they will suffer the same fate and in the Grand Prize of England as they may not be used.
In summary, the interpretation not matched with the nature of the rules is something as subjective as the personal taste and so used to the will of the FIA. While no one is queje…
