    Another ineffective clampdown? The static load tests never satisfy the accuser or the accused, how many times have we seen a wing flexing on an onboard yet it passed some new and improved test? Would be far easier if it was measured by deflection on the car using FIA measured points during the race via cameras.

      The problem with using cameras is an accuracy limitation, the problem is similar to VAR where a person’s interpretation of one pixel is the difference. On top of that the camera in an F1 car is vibrating.
