Yet another aspect of Ferrari's 2018 car may now come under the microscope.
After the Maranello team had to remove 'Halo winglets' after Barcelona, and amid concerns about oil consumption in the turbo, the FIA ran detailed checks on the car's supposed 'double battery' system in Monaco.
Ferrari got the green light, but Charlie Whiting said more checks in Canada may be necessary.
And now, yet another part of the Ferrari is coming under the microscope.
Auto Motor und Sport reports that Red Bull is concerned that, at full speed, Ferrari's 'DRS' flap in the rear wing opens more than the allowed 6.5cm.

Let them. Nothing to fear if everything is legal. Although to be honest, so much has been said about this, and the fact that the investigation is the result of whistleblowing... it all suggest there is at least something very interesting (as in brilliant of illegal) to find

Well yes, this is, as I've said before, just business as usual. Just find it a tad weird or sorta amusing how so many have decided to gangbang Ferrari this year. First the engine and oil consumption, then the electric components, and the rear view mirrors, and now the DRS? Whats next? Vettel's haircut? I mean its borderline legal at best!
