I think Perez's awesome tyre performance will still stand up in people's minds regardless of the disqualification, just a shame he didn't get the points

How fast can they turn around new rear wings? Must be working like crazy to get new moulds made and wings pumped out and sent to the track.

Apparently, all the other wings that they had at the circuit were also tested, and these were found to be legal. It was just the two wings fitted to the race cars that were not. They claim that there was no performance advantage from the difference (but it is a coincidence surely that these were the ones used?)

The only ones checked by the FIA were the ones on the cars but they would have had spare wings in the same spec built up too. Sounds like a stuff up in the design office but I'm not sure that I buy the 'no performance gain' argument - which is moot in any case as the part either complies with the dimension rules or it doesn't - regardless of any performance difference. |

I see that they've now decided not to appeal the decision - admitting it's their mistake...
