F1's New Aerodynamics Rule: McLaren Under Fire in Spanish GP

The FIA's New Rule Change Shakes Up the Spanish Grand Prix The Formula One world is abuzz after the FIA announced a mid-season rule change affecting front wing flexibility. This change, reducing the allowed flex from 15 to 10 millimeters, directly impacts teams' aerodynamic performance. The move comes after Red Bull Racing voiced concerns about teams manipulating wing flex for an advantage. McLaren, in particular, has found itself under scrutiny. \"McLaren's rear wing flexes like a mini DRS,\" stated a Red Bull representative in a slow-motion video. McLaren maintains its innocence, claiming they've done nothing wrong. The FIA has responded by implementing new tests and cameras to monitor wing flex, applying 1000 Newtons of force to each side. If the wing flexes more than 10 millimeters, it's deemed illegal. Similar tests apply to rear flaps. The Spanish Grand Prix will be the first race under this new regulation, setting the stage for a fascinating competition. \"Coming up later today, we are going to see who is bluffing,\" said one commentator, highlighting the anticipation surrounding the race.
