Well hopefully . But I think , not this time my friend . Too much is going on (wrong)! with the RB20.

And the McLarens are just too fast...

They could be cheating with the flexi wings in that they ''flex'' too much maybe.
It's come out of nowhere but understand that ex RB chap who left for the Larens could be telling them RB aero secrets but after such a short time ?

"All the current F1 teams have been found to be fully in compliance with the regulations regarding the level of flexibility of their front wings."

Yes . As I said , that's what I'm thinking .

BTW : The Kemmel straight DRS-Zone is shortened by 75 meters .
But the track can be faster by the new asphalt layer..

Valtteri Bottas still holds the Spa track record with a 1:46.286 laptime .
He ran it in his 2018 Mercedes spaceship (!)

Poor BOT seems to have been forgotten by everyone still battling for a point, the price he paid for being LEW's lap dog back then !

Yeah . I still can feel his pain .

"The main motivation for the new flexi wing checks is not to trigger a potential clampdown on what teams are doing right now."
"Instead, it is more about helping the FIA get a clearer picture of what teams are doing with the front wing – with a view to then seeing if changes need to be made for 2025 and beyond to make F1's regulations better."
"The FIA’s long-standing stance that it is happy that there is nothing wrong with what is currently being run, made clear to teams in recent Technical Advisory Committees, remains in force despite what is being planned for Belgium."

Then they'll have nothing to worry about ...

The FIA wing regulations are made for the better cheaters ...

They are messing with several thin rubber layers over the carbon front wing.
The trick is : Under load they don't bend much (see the FIA load test)
But in the wind at high speeds they bend at lot (!)

How smart can you be to mislead the FIA idiots ...
These guys at Mercedes and McLaren are no fools (!)

It's only cheating when you get caught. It's engineering advances when you don't get caught. When the first Roman Chariots race occurred, someone was cheating.
