The new F1 rules to combat the so-called 'flexi-floor' will be in place for the Belgian GP.
FIA confirm details of clampdown on ‘flexi-floors’ from Belgian Grand PrixThe FIA have confirmed they are to monitor the stiffness of the planks under cars after some teams were accused of having ‘flexi-floors’.
FIA rules state the wooden plank which runs along the bottom of the car must have a limit of 2mm of flexibility, but there was suspicion some in the paddock had found a grey area which allowed them to hit up to 6mm of flexibility. Mercedes’ Toto Wolff was the most vocal in his criticism of the FIA’s slowness to act, saying it should have been policed as soon the FIA had caught suspicion it was going on, but the Austrian now has his wish with the governing body set to inspect the cars more closely.
The FIA have introduced the new measures alongside rules to combat porpoising and some of them will be in place for the next race in Belgium.
