Any update on the rearwinggate?

Just a lot of unknowns.

We have no idea what the new rules "explanation" actually means and how big modifications are needed.

Also if modifications are needed can they be made without jokers? (I'd guess so, but how does that fit in the rules?)
EDIT: If they don't need a joker, Citroen could use this opportunity to put on a new/bigger wing without needing a joker.


Will the "changed" cars get a new homologation (isn't that very expensive process?) or how will that be adressed?

If you get less rear downforce with the changes you might need modifications in other areas which might need quite a few jokers. Or you might sacrifice some top speed with a new rear wing that has same downforce but more drag.

Anyway if teams are actually doing changes my guess is we won't see any testing of them before start of september.
