2021 Race 5 - Monaco

[airshifter]

The FIA has had to intervene a number of times in recent years regarding wing flex, both front and rear. As it stands right now, Merc really have no case. If the wing passes the tests, it is deemed legal by the controlling authority in an official test. It's simply a matter of Merc for once being a little behind the curve, and trying to force the issue since they run a different rear wing setup. But they aren't complaining about RB's front wing at all.... I wonder why?


I actually think it's comical that with only a few point gap, Merc now seem to be in panic mode. I think they have had a margin so large they they never felt anyone could challenge them soon. And the reality is as was stated by Bagwan IMHO, they just got it really wrong at Monaco. With any car there will be circuits where it's not as strong, and the same applies for the team, drivers, etc.



The conspiracy theories already starting are comical though. When a team loses it's dominance in F1, it's because they did. And very rarely IMHO is is due to the FIA playing any favorites, games, or wackiness. The rules develop over time and here and there even a good team gets it wrong.
