    Ermm interesting.

    "For the avoidance of doubt, if any part of the front wing of the car attempting to pass is alongside the rear wheel of the car in front this will be deemed to be a 'significant portion'.

    IIRC They can block the racing line and then move to another position, but MUST allow the following driver room to overtake, if for example, the following driver attempts a switch back.

    Does this mean it will be the fault of the driver in front if he gets his rear tyre cut by a front wing?

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Now if they'd just sew many large rare earth magnets into Maldonado's racing suit and toss him onto the side of an oil tanker bound for Antarctica...
