The race director of the FIA, Charlie Whiting, announced that the rear wing presented in Barcelona by Ferrari was not legal because it incorporated a flap extending the surface and was parted in the center leaving an empty triangular. "It was a clever way to interpret the rules, but illegal," he said Whiting himself after a night in which the commissioners studied from all angles the approach of Ferrari.
The Italian team was forced to recover the rear wing I had used in Turkey. So both Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa ran this morning with this old item and had to work to adapt the configuration of your car spoiler this change required. Things are complicated and it was clear both in the workshop where mechanics worked by the piece, and on the track where the time never came. Red Bull continued to dominate, placing Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber in the first two positions, with 1.3 seconds of Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton.
Alonso went virtually unnoticed, relegated to ninth place, 2.5 seconds of Vettel. Massa finished 11 th, one tenth of Asturias. However, these times are not significant as in staging the development of Ferrari can improve a lot yet.
The FIA, on the other hand, also found that in the Grand Prix of Canada and Europe, to be held in Valencia, there are two areas that can be activated by the DRS, or open the rear wing to lose strength aerodynamics and top speed to win. And Charlie Whiting said the decision on the horn-blowing exhaust fumes do not leave out even when not pressed the accelerator, used by Red Bull and adapted by other teams would not occur until at least the Grand Prix Great Britain. "I think it's legal, but we discuss it," he said Whiting.
