Here's another thought :
Now that they've effectively given the green light to scrap a bunch of wings and design new ones that flex , it makes me wonder what goes into the making of this decision .
They say it's ok , so wings must be re-designed to keep up . There's no other way . You must .
If they say it's no good , though , how would they have done it ?
Could they merely have added even more weight to the front end ? That , likely would have resulted in the re-design of a number of wings anyway . And , possibly more disqualifications at the next races , if there wasn't time(or money) allowed to do the work .
Could a "plank" , like used for the floor , measured after the race for thickness be the answer to stop the flexing ?
I don't know the answer , but it seems like there should be a way the regulate this aero aspect of the car without just the wholesale burn of money that a new set of wings for the whole grid means .
