REGULATORY SCRUTINY AND COMPLIANCE DISPUTES
The debut of the Mercedes' new front wing at the 2024 Canadian Grand Prix, made a big-note on the series of aerodynamic modifications that it brought, a feature that aimed at providing a more rebalanced downforce in comparison to the old wings (Straw). However, this innovative design came under the immediate radar of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) the governing body of motor sports.
The technical regulations of the FIA have always been dubbed as being notoriously stringent, which have placed exceptionally detailed specifications on the material to be used, the dimensions and the prohibition of movable aerodynamic devices in F1 motor-cars. The Technical Regulations of the FIA under Article 3 explicitly define these parameters. Under the subsection of Article 3, that is 3.2 which talks about the General Principles and Legality Checking, 3.2.1 talks about the Objective of Article 3, which is an important objective of the Regulations in Article 3 is to enable cars to race closely, by ensuring that the aerodynamic performance loss of a car following another car is kept to a minimum (2024 Formula 1 Technical Regulations). Keeping this in mind an initial assessment of the Mercedes' wing suggested a breach of the boundaries of these rules.
