F1 teams braced for ‘tougher’ flexi-wing tests in China after FIA checks
The FIA will impose tough new tests on🃏 F1 team's cars in China amid an ongoing fꦗlexi-wing clampdown.

F1 teams will face tougher flexi-wing tests from next weekend’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Chinese Grand Prix.
Governing body the FIA has been pushing hard to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:clampdown on the use of flexi-wings during the 20ܫ25 F1 season, with a technical directive covering rear wing flexibility implemented at last weekend’s Australian Grand Prix.
Further tests under TD18, which relates to front wing flexing, were sch💦eduled to co🅷me into force from the Spanish Grand Prix in June.
This 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:decision irked Red Bull, who questioned why F1’s governing body was waiti📖ng until the ninth round of the season to conduct such checks.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Red Bull suspect their rivals McLaren and Ferrari are findꦉiꦦng ways to circumvent the current regulations.
Following initial observations at the opening round of the season in Melbourne, the FIA says they concluded that “sufficient grounds” exist for a “tougher test” to be introduced in China this w✅eekend.
F1 teams were informed of the reꦉvised test o🎀n Monday morning.
, the FIA said:"As has been previously communicated, between the end of the 2024 season and the start of the 2025 seaso🐽n, the FIA exercised the authority it is granted under Article 3.15.1 of the Technical Regulations to introduce either new or more challenging load-deflection tests for the front wing (from Race 9, Spanish Grand Prix), the upper rear wing, and the beam rear wing. In addition, the FIA requested to the teams to use cameras in Free Practice Sessions to monitor the on-track deformations exhibited by the cars during the Australian Grand Prix.
“Having analysed footage from the rear wing deformations combined to the static deflections measure𝓰d inside the FIA garage in Melbourne, the FIA has concluded that sufficient grounds exist for a tougher test to be introduced from the forthcoming Chinese Grand Prix on the upper rear wing.
"More specifically, Article 3.15.17, introduced in 2025, states that if 75Kg of vertical load is applied on ei꧑ther extremity of the rear wing mainplane, the distance between the mainplane and the flap (also known as “slot gap”) must not vary by more than 2mm. From the forthcoming Grand Prix in Shanghai, this limit will be reduced to 0.5mm. Due to the short notice for Shanghai only a tolerance of 0.25mm will be added to this new꧃ limit.”
Despite the introduction of the stricter test, the FIA stressed that all cars were foun🌠d to be legal following the checks🌊 which took place in Australia.
“The FIA wishes to▨ furthe𝄹r confirm that during the Melbourne event all cars tested against the requirements of Article 3.15.17 and found to comply, therefore all cars raced in Melbourne were deemed to be legal,” they concluded.
