Maybe a silly question but how is it adjustable?
I know the front wing they turn some "screws" to adjust it (manually that is) but what about the reat wing? If you look at Maccas rear wing (among other like williams?) It doesnt look like the rear wing can be adjusted
I may be asking a stupid question i know but i just wanna know

AFAIK the rear wing is not adjustable, hasn't been for a while in F1. They build different ones for different tracks with varying level of downforce, and use the front wing to balance the car.

I did think that but werent sure.
So they would have Monaco, monza, medium, medium high etc.

Perhaps they use gurnley flaps of varying sizes to change the balance?

They're fully adjustable. Those rows of screws you see on the endplates adjust the angle of attack.

I believe once the car goes to parc ferme on Saturday you can no longer change the rear wing angle for the weekend, but I could be mistaken...

some of them are adjustable... the Monza spec and Monaco specs rear wings are not as adjustable if I recall
