"But it will be interesting to see the results, because I think we are on the good side. "I think it is not in the regulations or a TD but more of an experiment. "I think they are trying a new load test, also for next year, to have these things more robust and checking how much a wing deflects," Wolff said.

Stricter rear wing load tests are due to be introduced by the FIA over the Qatar Grand Prix race weekend, but Wolff said they were essentially a trial for 2022 and was confident the Mercedes would pass them regardless. "I don't know where they got this photo from and what it shows. "I can't see anything on this photo other than stuff being scratched - a ghost," Wolff said. In several interviews, Horner has claimed the apparent marks are indicative of the main part of the wing flexing under aerodynamic load, thereby decreasing drag and increasing top speed on the straights.Īlthough some flexing of bodywork is inevitable on an F1 car, moveable aerodynamic devices are outlawed under the regulations and there have been numerous suggestions from Red Bull that Mercedes may be gaining an illegal advantage.īut Wolff dismissed the images of the "score" marks.
On Friday, Red Bull circulated images to TV broadcasters of alleged scuff marks on the rear wing endplate under the main plain of the Mercedes' rear wing. LUSAIL, Qatar - Toto Wolff says Red Bull is seeing "ghosts" after rival team principal Christian Horner claimed "score" marks on the rear wing of the Mercedes were linked to flexing bodywork.
