Ferrari has questions for the FIA regarding the Mercedes wing.
The Ferrari team has approached the FIA regarding Mercedes' "two-phase" front wing, where the transition from the open to closed position of the flaps during braking does not occur smoothly as expected, but rather seems to consist of two phases of movement. The unusual operation of the Mercedes wing caught attention during the Chinese Grand Prix. The response from the federation's technical services will determine the actions of other teams – if the decision complies with the rules, rivals will copy it.
