Don’t be too rigid about flexi-wings

The science of aerodynamics and the particular impact it has on Formula 1 cars has always offered interesting opportunities for debates. To make it straight and simple, every driver and F1 engineer would dream of having all the downforce in the corners (grip-limited areas) and the lowest downforce level on the straights to get the maximum possible top speed. But in life there is always a cost, and in aerodynamics the cost of downforce is drag.

With fixed wings, as stipulated by F1’s rules, there is no easy
