No modifications will likely be made to entrance wing flex checks utilized in Method 1 regardless of 2024’s minor hubbub over flexing wings, in line with FIA head of single-seater issues Nikolas Tombazis.

In response to a question made by Ferrari and Crimson Bull in 2024 regarding the flexibility of the entrance wings belonging to different groups, primarily McLaren and Mercedes, the FIA positioned monitoring cameras on automobiles from the Belgian Grand Prix and past.

This was not with a view to altering the laws within the brief time period, however as a part of a fact-finding mission to find out what it ought to do with future iterations of the foundations.

Within the meantime, the FIA had declared that it had no difficulty with the McLaren and Mercedes wings; so long as they handed the flex checks, then the governing physique was blissful.

However Tombazis defined that the distinction in loading between every entrance wing on the grid made it troublesome for the FIA to create a one-size-fits-all check to clamp down on any exploitation of aeroelasticity.

“We’re fairly pleased with what we have seen,” Tombazis defined in an unique interview with Motorsport.com. “I hasten to say that it is not a query all the time of being blissful or not.

“It is also a query of whether or not you’re feeling {that a} significant check could be made.

“One of many challenges within the entrance wing is that, in comparison with different elements of the automotive, the entrance wing loading is far more diversified between automobiles in a given location and so forth.

“So most checks relate to the load of a sure route, sure place of software, sure magnitude should not produce a [certain] deformation.

“Essentially the most profitable such checks imitate as a lot as potential what occurs in actual life with hundreds and, on the sooner wing for instance, it is fairly profitable. On the entrance wing, the range between automobiles would make that fairly troublesome.”

Tombazis added that there had been no modifications to the entrance wing flex checks for the reason that present laws had been launched in 2022 and, as a part of that, it was not going to vary tack for 2025.

Ferrari is already understood to have developed its personal model of a flexing entrance wing over 2024, and that is additionally a chance afforded to Crimson Bull if it has not already created its personal variant.

“Clearly, there was loads of hoo-hah about it through the summer time and early autumn,” Tombazis added.

“We had made it fairly clear to groups since 2022 no less than, that we weren’t planning to introduce any additional checks on the entrance wing and we caught to that.”
