FIA to ban flexing 'Macarena' wings from 2027
Original: FIA clampdown on Macarena wings for 2027
The FIA is preparing a clampdown on so-called 'Macarena' wings — flexible rear wings that twist and bend at speed to reduce drag, in a move echoing the dance move they are named after — with new rules due for 2027. Teams have exploited flexi-wing designs for years, and regulators now want the next generation of technical regulations to close the loophole for good.
Why now: The FIA has signalled new 2027 technical rules targeting flexible wings, a long-running controversy in Formula 1.
