Flexing Body Parts

[NateDogg]

At first I thought it was just because it was late at night and I was seeingthings but...Renalut with a flexing engine cover? See Here.
Also I also noticed it on the front wing of the McLaren, when they put the camera on the side of the front wing. You don't see the wing move down as they speed up, as it happens so gradually, but when the car brakes heavily before a sharp corner, you can see the wing come up.
Finally finding ways to bend the rules? (which is sweet) or breaking them alltogether? I say the first one.

Not breaking the rules. Only if the constant bending somehow warps the body so it is not the way it left the grid then would there be any concern there. Their construction must not be as strong as needed I guess and you can imagine the thousands of Kilo's that is being pressed on that wing at 200 mph down that strait. It better bend a little. I noticed that the back of the engine cowling was flexing a lot too on the Renault. I had never seen that before. I could only guess that the airflow is less than perfect on that car and either it is very high turbulance over that area or air is getting under the bodywork and lifting it up. I saw Micheal's engine cowling explode a few years ago as he came down the strait at Monza. Who knows what the deal is but Malaysia is probably one of the fastest tracks they run on maybe next to Barcelona and Monza, so I don't think it will be a problem. We'll have to wait and see. Good observation though and I am glad you brought that up.
