Flexi Wings to Stop
The FIA are putting an end to at least one part of the Flexi Wing debate.
The FIA are going to amend the rules to force the teams to use a spacer to force the space between the planes of the rear wing. This will guard against the planes 'moving' together to create a different aero profile.
This only tackles the rear wing, and other parts of the aero package on cars has been shown to 'move', these include barge boards and front wings.
These may be tackled by the FIA at a later date.
Personally I do not actually mind the teams using clever aero tweaks, however it should be made clear whether it will be tolerated or not, so the other teams can develop their own versions of the wings.
