How Do Flexible Wings Work? | Albert Fabrega's F1 TV Tech Talk Demo | Crypto.com

Following a Technical Directive from the FIA on flexible wings heading into the Singapore Grand Prix weekend, Will Buxton joins Albert Fabrega for another demonstration. Albert has brought along plenty of wings for himself and Will Buxton to get their teeth stuck into as they discuss a hot topic.

Top explanation once more, Albert is better than a physic teacher

[ajayanderson]

Albert has to have made a full car at this point

Albert as always hard carrying technical content

[zippo]

I always feel 10x smarter after watching these videos 😎

Amazing. learned so much and learned that static tests kinda succ cuz you can add more stuff on bodywork and direct more air to your bending part its WIN WIN, u get more corner downforce and on straight your bodywork creates bigger pressure on wing by directing air to it and making it bend so you get more downforce and keep topspeed.

we need albert as a commentator .. so that smart people can enjoy the race.. not everyone crraves for drama

[Frangrance]

this was brilliant, thanks for sharing. the questions were perfect, and the answers as well.
Would have been great to ask also "do you think these directives have anything to do with the performance of RB last weekend?", but appreciate that couldnt be done 😅

FIA: issues another technical directive

AdrianNewey: “And I took that personally…”

[paulheinrich]

If only all engineers had such personality...

[ehsnils]

If there are so many ways around the flexing of the wings maybe it would be better to just allow free flex and get rid of the DRS.
But at the same time I'd also like to see the wings being just one solid surface and not as complex and complicated as they are today.

He may has a language barrier to say the everything that he wanted to tell, but man's expressions say it all. Alberto..

[KarlenBell]

If you close your eyes, you can almost hear Checo when Albert is talking 😅

[SomannaMuthanna]

Technical talks like this make up for a rather so-so season!

[lmeow]

Finally, they put subtitle into tech talk vids

[huplim]

I’ve been waiting for this since Sam spoke about this!!!
Well, actually it’s been several years this has been of interest. About time!!!

Fascinating video! Just curious to know how flexible wings impact F1 car performance. Does it improve downforce, reduce drag, or both?

[michaelleeson]

Should do more like this was interesting

[edjustice]

Love the insights and the devil in the details from Albert...fascinating. Thx u!

FIA suspects that inside the wings and the rubber joints outside the tested areas there are special clever designs that act as levers that flex in a controlled way that gives them advantage.
