Ferrari did not feel any major impact on the FIA's decision, which prohibited them from using a new rear wing at the Spanish GP this weekend. Because the effect is very small.
On Saturday (05/21/2011), the International Automobile Federation (FIA) decided that the Ferrari's rear wing is illegal. That's because the extension of the cover rear wing is higher than normal so that violate the rules and the "Scuderia" asked to replace them.
WAG Ferrari, Fernando Alonso, said the FIA's decision to give effect. Nonetheless, plus 2005 and 2006 world champion, the effect is not significant."It was one of the new parts we have for this race. However, they decided that we should not use it so that we eliminate them," said the Spanish rider.
"This is the part that gives us a little change. However, we are talking about no more than half a tenth or so this is not a drama when I have to eliminate them."
Ferrari Technical Director Aldo Costa added, "We talk too much about this small detail. That is a detail so honest, it is not a big problem with or without it."
He also asserted, Ferrari believes the wing is still legal even though the FIA banned it.
"For us, the detail is legal. However, you have a lot of clarification with the FIA, many interpretations. There is a change of opinion so you can move on. It is a small detail and it was not a case that shook us when removed."
Indeed, Ferrari was forced to replace their rear wing on this Saturday after FIA consider it illegal. A day earlier, the FIA race director Charlie Whiting said the FIA to check more detailed wings that brought Ferrari back to the Catalunya Circuit.
"The wing is a very clever manifestation of the existing regulations. However, we must decide whether Ferrari's interpretation of the rules that do well without the benefit of regulatory gaps," said Whiting.
