This GIF makes it a little easier to see :-)

Pretty condemning as well as compelling.

how many seconds/frames are those two images apart?

Sorry, don't know, I got it from f1 technical.

Regadless it proves the WHOLE NOSE is flexing.

Yep

Its such a crying shame we have armchair-neweys on here that clearly know much better then say 1000+ collective, technichians, engineers, scientists working for f1 teams like mclaren and ferrari, that red bulls wing is flexing/illegal and we are powerless to stop it.

Would they be the same 1000+ technicians, engineers and scientists who also said mass dampers were ok? :)

Well im not like some people on here thatll try and blag off something when they dont know what their on about.

As such the mass damper situation is beyond my knowledge, but what i do know, is that it was the STEWARDS and the FIA that decide whether they were ok, not the teams. Kind of renders that example neuteured.

Please tell me you are joking.

usually im not too bad with sarcasm and what not over the internet but this one really has me confused.

Damn. I must have poor vision. I clearly see the front wing flexing upwards as he brakes hard for corners, but for the life of me I can't see movement on the nose no matter how hard I stare my eyes are watering.

Plus, the shadows playing on the tip of the nose just makes it harder to see this.

Oww. :crying:

I dont need to read up on the mass damper situation? The mass damper has nothing to do with you lot acting like you know better then those people i mentioned.

Its strange too, its only the Mclaren and Ferrari fans that seem to have a problem with it within this thread. Hmmm, theres only one man that can solve this mystery..........COMMON SENSE MAN!

To just rebutt this debate and say its sour grapes by mclaren or ferrari fans is pretty poor. There is clearly something going on here with their wing, how about discussing that?

its been discussed since March 2010 thats why its past boring.

Theyve made it so it past the tests, its legal.

Lets not whine cause our teams are too stupid to try implement it. Nobody denies the wings flex.

Gee March 2010 is so long ago... well people still chat about the 07 season on here im sure you dont complain about those comments. Its the headline on most F1 websites RIGHT NOW which is why we are discussing it! :wavey:
Theres nothing stupid about staying within the rules as far as im concerned.... Bypassing a test doesn't mean it is legal. IT means the tests are inadequate.

So the FIA are now second in command to your judgement? Those in the know found it legal, its been deemed legal. It is legal. The more you and your respective team complain, the bigger the performance gap cause mcalren and ferrari want to "play fair".

Im guessing you also thought Mclarens F-duct was illegal being a movable part. You didnt.......oh.....

And for your totally ignorant information, the only people who talk about 2007 are those that cant let it go, Hamilton and Alonso fans. The jumped up ones. The only talk we hear about 07 is their rivalry and you know it. So dont tell me i dont complain, did i not just post this: :lurker: In the thread talking about as recent as 09/10, yeah i did.

It's easier if you look at the Camera Winglet, and it's much more easy to see it in the GIF Spankyham posted. It's harder to see with the nose itself because the edge is quite "soft" in terms of focus. But the camera stands out a bit better.

Why do they have the test, can you answer that? maybe you will understand what is going on here. So please Why do they have the tests on the wings?
