We dissect Formula 1’s latest flexi wings row in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. 

Following news of a technical directive being issued curbing front wing flexibility, Jon Noble and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to explain what’s changing and why. 

Inevitably, there’s the question of which teams this could help and hinder to consider, as well as the political dimension as the usual competitive paranoia bubbles up among the ultra-competitive teams. 

We also explain why flexi wings can’t be regulated out of F1, and the reasons for the eternal push-and-pull battle between the rulemakers and teams on what’s permitted. 

And with the rule change kicking in after eight races, we ask whether it could distort the season and lead to a competitive swing in June.
