Yes you're not an aerodynamicist and you inply that the ones at mercedes either didn't notice this phenomenon or they are incapable to stiffen up that finn where the engineers at RB can?
Neither of these 2 options are very likely.
Everything a layman like me sees in a video, the aerodynamicists at Mercedes have seen 10 times over and have measured and calcualted at that phenomenon. If those vibrations and flexing should impede performance.... I'm pretty sure they would have fixed it.
Nothing we could ever
ever see in these videos are things the engineers at mercedes would have missed. Everything we see is a result of what they engineer very very carefully.
When you see something flapping around in the breeze on an F1 car.......it's ment to do that.
Trust me, they are very much ahead of us
My only point was regarding the statement of 'rigid'.
If that RB spoiler isnt rigid, that merc finn also isnt 'rigid'
And imho none of those issues are 'coincidental'. Those engineers are way too smart for that.
