Ferrari Debuts Rotating Rear Wing

Ferrari will debut a rotating rear wing at the Chinese GP, featuring a 180-degree upper flap [https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/lewis-hamilton-ferrari-to-use-rotating-wing-at-f1-chinese-gp/10804270/].

The new wing is designed to improve straight-line speed by reducing drag when the upper flap rotates. This could make the Ferrari more competitive in Shanghai, a track known for its long straights. The rotating wing concept isn't entirely new, as similar designs have been explored in the past, but Ferrari's implementation is unique. Other teams will be watching closely to see if the design complies with regulations and offers a significant performance advantage. Lewis Hamilton has commented on the new wing, suggesting it could give Ferrari a considerable edge. He anticipates other teams may try to develop similar systems if Ferrari's design proves successful.
