    These three teams appear to have it down pretty well now. Ferrari might not be flexing quite as much but they are certainly getting there. These pics were shot at the same area of the track for comparison purposes.

    Watching qualifying it seemed that the MB wing has the same structural properties as a wet noodle...

    :D LOL

    As long as Charlie can load 'er up, she's good ;)

    [And we know he applies his loads very close to the C/L - "Cheers" Charlie!]

    Cheers,

    PS - Nice pix, thx.

    The flexing on the bull is really obvious, compared to the other two...

    I think Ferrari's is flexing the same as RB's, but RB's wings runs lower because of their rake. So it just looks like their's is flexing more.
