F1 | Red Bull, Marko: “Wolff think about the Mercedes front wing”

Toto Wolff has complained several times about the delay in introducing stiffness and torsion tests for ailerons. The Mercedes boss would have liked to introduce them well before Paul Ricard, the date set by the Federation. Helmut Marko, consultant and team manager from Milton Keynes, did not tell Wolff, not even sparing a dig at the front wing of the W12 which seems to flex no less than the rear of the Red Bull RB16B.

“We find it all a bit strange. The FIA ​​has decided that the rules for testing, especially for torsional resistance, will be changed. This will apply from Paul Ricard onwards, so the regulation is very clear – the words of Helmut Marko, interviewed by “Formel1.de – It is up to you to decide this kind of issue the FIA ​​who decides, if Mr. Wolff thinks it's too late so he's free to protest as much as he wants. But I think he should also think about his front wings. On ServusTV and also on Sky they showed videos and you can see how even those Mercedes flex a lot towards the asphalt."
