Ferrari mirror tweaks show scrutiny team is under

Wing mirrors are to come off next race at Monaco.....deemed illegal.

 

As I understand it, the mirrors are legal...the winglets above the mirrors are not. The moment I saw them I knew this would be the eventual outcome.

 

Sorry for the uninformed question, but what does IOW stand for?

 

in-other-words

 

Thanks for the information .

 

Damn, I was trying to work out what the Isle Of Wight had to do with Ferrari mirrors!

 

FIA tells Ferrari to remove Halo winglets

MAY 13, 2018

Ferrari has been told to remove the winglets currently attached to the 2018 car's Halo device after Sunday's Spanish grand prix.

The FIA said recently that teams are allowed to attach the rearview mirrors to the controversial Halo concept.

But Ferrari arrived in Barcelona also with winglets on the Halo.

"The FIA received letters of complaint," Germany's Auto Motor und Sport reports.

"Ferrari has now been asked to bring a modified solution to Monaco," it added. "The mirror may still be attached to the Halo, but without aerodynamic elements."

Renault has said it is also working on a mirror concept for its Halo, while Force India is preferring to sit it out for now while the FIA rules on legality.

"The performance gain is not that big," said technical boss Andy Green. "First we want to see what the others are doing and then we'll copy the best one."

 

Shame they don’t tell Pirelli to revert to the new tyre compounds agreed and presented for the 2018 championship and make the teams develop their cars to suit them, rather than revert to old spec to suit one team of ten, now that would be progress.... cheats
