minus-squareSqueak@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·9 months agoWhy Mercedes is so adamant its trick wing is legal? It’s legal. Mercedes have worked with FIA to make sure they’re on the right side of the rules. That doesn’t mean there won’t be a TD to close the loophole, but the wing is legal for now.
