At present they have a 50 kg/ 10 mm deflection test right? Well if Ferrari's system is based purely on the wing design I think they will suffer a bit. Red Bull's design is said to be linked to the floor. Considering that Mclaren are perplexed by this flex wing issue, Adrian Newey has every reason to be smug.

But its a pity that every time a team finds a way of improving performance with an innovative idea, the design mostly gets outlawed.
