A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

I don't know what you're talking about, I don't see a rear wing in any of those photos.

The new frontwing created to much df. Car was extremely pointy at the front and loose at the rear in FP1 as they tested it.

German AutoBild claims that Red Bull might use some sort of flexible Diffusor. (source)
TV-Footage showed the rear seemingly moving horizontally and vertically. The head of a team told ABMS: "The diffusor is basically waving. But it doesn't have to be illegal."
I gotta admit that the fact that they're not naming the person who supposedly said that, nor the team this person works for, doesn't make the claim sound really serious; but does anyone here happen to know what footage the article refers to? I haven't found anything so far.

Can't see how it would help anyway, last thing you'd want is the diffuser bending down.

Anyone has a .gif of it happening?

The "flexing" I'm thinking of is the rear suspension compressing with speed, which is a way to reduce drag.

Ferrari has diffuser issues, asks photographer to inspect Red Bull', 2nd tier media picks it up as headline making news. Good old F1.
