Brawn adamant Ferrari wing is legal

Ferrari's Ross Brawn has dared his rivals to lodge a formal protest against the allegedly illegal rear wing on the 248 F1.

With FIA technical delegate Charlie Whiting currently in the possession of a new letter from Honda counterpart Geoff Willis, Technical Director Brawn challenged his accusers to go beyond finger-pointing.

“If someone (officially) protests against us,” the Briton told Auto Motor Und Sport, “then we would immediately protest against them.”

Brawn scoffed at Willis' claim that he has 'video evidence' of Ferrari's rear wing, which allegedly still flexes at high speed. Ferrari modified the design of its front wing ahead of the Melbourne race, following similar complaints.

Brawn insisted: “We have videos of every car in the field, showing that aerodynamic devices bend.

” “If all you look at are videos,” Brawn continued, “then every car out there is illegal.”
But Honda principal Nick Fry backed-up Willis' informal letter to Whiting as a means simply to 'register our concerns' about the Ferrari.

He told News Of The World: “There is something Geoff has been aware of and it is in the hands of Charlie now.” But the FIA is siding with Ferrari. A spokesman for the governing body explained that the 248 F1 is 'completely within the regulations'.
