Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point. 
Red Bull Renault will use a different rear wing design on the streets of Monaco this weekend, as a new flexible-wing saga threatens to explode.
The FIA clamped down on flexing wings last year, but a technical insider told Auto Motor und Sport that, "compared with what Red Bull are doing, the Ferrari offence was minor."
Another expert was surprised at how bendable the entire Red Bull wing appeared to be on the Barcelona on-board camera footage. "It must have been intentionally designed (to flex), otherwise it would break."
The Swiss newspaper Blick, meanwhile, estimated the advantage of the flexible wing at 6kph, or 0.25 seconds per lap, coinciding with David Coulthard's season-best fifth place in the Spanish Grand Prix.
Hm, AN trying to push the envelope in a hurry to improve the car? Sneaky, sneaky...
