Stricter Rear Wing Deflection Tests Introduced for the Chinese GP!

Following analysis from the Australian GP, the FIA has decided to toughen rear wing flexibility tests starting at the Chinese GP.

Update to Article 3.15.17: When 75kg of load is applied to the rear wing, the slot gap must not vary by more than 0.5mm instead of 2mm (with a temporary 0.25mm tolerance for Shanghai).

Why? Footage analysed from the Australian GP showed enough deformation to justify stronger controls.
When? Enforced from Race 2: Chinese GP.
All cars in Melbourne passed the previous static test and were deemed fully legal

Monaco is home to nearly half of all Formula 1 drivers:

• Lewis Hamilton
• Max Verstappen
• Charles Leclerc
• Lando Norris
• George Russell
• Valtteri Bottas
• Sergio Perez
• Nico Hulkenberg
• Alex Albon

This is primarily because of three reasons.

Taxes: Monaco has no income tax, no wealth tax, no local tax, no property tax, and no capital gains tax.

Privacy: There are 12,000 millionaires living in Monaco — 1/3 of the entire population — so F1 drivers don't have to deal with crazy fans. And with the government requiring written permission for all professional photography, there are also fewer paparazzi.

Location: The Nice airport is only 15 miles from Monaco, which is especially important because F1 drivers will travel over 75,000 miles this year alone.

And, of course, it doesn’t hurt that Monaco’s weather is incredible, and the views are equally spectacular.
