The FIA ​​will introduce stricter rear wing flexibility tests before the race for the French Grand Prix, after Mercedes warned that this is the only thing that bends heavily on the Red Bull car. The rules do not allow the aerodynamic parts of racing cars to move while driving on the track, with the exception of the DRS system, for which purpose strict wing flexibility tests were introduced years ago. Already at that time, the Red Bull team was a pioneer in this field, and in Barcelona, ​​Lewis Hamilton said after the qualifiers that they noticed a strong bending of the rear wing, and the Mercedes team estimated that Red Bull racing cars gain three tenths of a second on the planes. .

Technical director Danny Aldridge confirmed the legality of the wing before the race, but after the race, four teams, including Honda, filed a protest against the Italian team's decision. This was rejected at the first stage - by the race commissioners, so a hearing followed before the FIM Court of Appeal in Geneva, where the legality of the wing was finally confirmed. At a press conference on Thursday, Marc Marquez did not yet know when Honda would use the wings, which he does not believe will make much of a difference.
