F1 teams are set to face increased scrutiny of tﷺheir rear wings at the season-openin✃g Australian Grand Prix.

Governing body the FIA has implemented a technical directive to clampdown on flexi-wings, with front wing checks coming in from the ninth round of t♋he 2025 season in Spain.

Italian website has reported the FIA is set to ramp up the process wi🤪th new mea💮sures coming into force at the first round in Melbourne.

According to the report, the FIA’s technical office has sent the teams an official request for checks regarding the “visual control of theꦿ rear wings” to monitor deformation.

FIA cameras are set to be housed by teams to capture high definition footage of the rear wing through the monitoring of reference stickers on spe🌃cific locations.

This is aimed at ensuring t🌃eams are not circumventing the static checks that are already implemented.

Red Bull points finger at McLaren and Ferrari

It comes amid the backdrop of a new row that ꦍis brewing over ‘mini-DRS’ suspicions.

Concerns were raised about the💧 behaviour of some teams’ rear wings during pre-season testing in Bahrain last week.

Red 💜Bull technical direct🃏or Pierre Wache accused McLaren and Ferrari of exploiting the regulations.

"It is still going on,” Wache told The Race. "I think Ferrari and McLaren are doing the mini-DRS stu𝄹ff still."

McLaren 🔯came under the microscope in 2024 after rivals complained about a ‘mini-DRS’ trick with their rear wing.

The reignin🐲g world champions made modifications to the wing for subsequent races after🥃 Oscar Piastri’s victory at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix drew attention. 

The FIA has already confirmed that stricter tests are going ﷽to be introduced from the Spanish Grand Prix in Jꦛune.

Red Bull team princip🔜al Christian Horner raised questions over the timing of the checks. 

“The slight oddball about it is the timing of it,” he said. 💞“Why race nine?

“It might have been better to have addressed [it] durin𓂃g the off-season because [teams] end up doing two specs of wing [designs].”
