What's the diff between 06 and 07 wing regs anyway?
Nakamoto claims that BMW has been using a flexi wing in the testing and that they will be two tenths slower without it.

I don't beleive they would be using the old design unless they have something "in the bag" that offers similar preformance that they don't want to show till they have to.
Certainly everyone on the grid would have to concur, otherwise it would be a pointless exercise.
Is testing banned now, or are the teams just done with all organized group testing for now? I ask because Red Bull are supposed to be testing a new aero package somewhere this week, if I remember correctly.

I don't think it's banned. Toyota also said that they have to test in Jerez after Bahrain, cause they couldn't get all the work done in Bahrain.

Along with McLaren with Hamilton driving. The test was run on the National circuit and run largely for pit-stop practice. Spyker had their livery too, much nicer IMHO.
