The FIA will further investigate the rear wings of Red Bull and Ferrari.

      The FIA requested additional information from Red Bull Racing and Ferrari after two failures of the rotating rear wing on Max Verstappen's car. The federation wants to ensure that both teams fully comply with safety requirements when using innovative rear wings known as "Macarena."

      According to British media, the FIA contacted Red Bull and Ferrari after Max Verstappen's two off-track excursions in Austria and the UK due to the rear wing not fully closing.

      Ferrari was the first to introduce the rotating rear wing to further reduce drag on straights. The second team to adopt this technical solution was Red Bull, and its design turned out to be more aggressive – the rear wing opens wider, allowing for greater reduction of air resistance.

      At the same time, Ferrari has not yet encountered technical problems with the system, while Red Bull has faced failures on Verstappen's car twice. The team clarified that the issues in Spielberg and Silverstone were caused by different reasons, but after the crash in the Sunday race, Max described the situation as "dangerous."

      For the FIA, these two cases were enough to request further clarifications from both teams. At this stage, the federation is not considering a ban on such a design but wants to verify whether the systems used comply with all current safety requirements.

      One of the requirements concerns the closing time of the rear wing – the transition to the closed position should take no more than 400 milliseconds. However, merely adhering to this limit does not guarantee that the airflow will fully recover after the wing's position changes.

      After analyzing the information received, the FIA will determine whether additional checks or regulatory changes are needed. The federation will also consider a situation where Red Bull's technical solution fully complies with the requirements, but failures remain possible.

      Theoretically, the FIA could ban the use of the concept until the end of the season or in the 2027 season, but such an option is not the goal of the investigation and is not being considered as a next step.

      Interest in rotating rear wings is also shown by other teams. McLaren brought their solution to the Austrian Grand Prix but deemed the design not ready for use even during free practice. It is known that the FIA's request concerns only Red Bull and Ferrari and does not currently extend to McLaren.
