Technical directors reject controversial new wing

NEWS STORY
04/12/2005

The technical directors that form Formula One's Technical Working Group, have rejected the FIA's controversial new wing - the Centreline Downwash Generating (CDG) Wing.

The wing, first revealed by the FIA in October, is meant to make racing more exciting, by making overtaking easier.

"By introducing the CDG wing we can give motor sport fans exactly what they have asked for, wheel-to-wheel racing with much more overtaking," said Max Mosley at the time.

Mosley had hoped that the wing, due to be introduced in 2008, might be brought in a year earlier, in 2007, but the technical directors have ruled this out, claiming that much more work is needed.

The wing was presented to the technical directors for the first time on Friday.

"The discussion was positive and constructive and has helped to move things forward significantly," said an FIA spokesman, according to Reuters. "The teams felt that more work has to be done on optimisation and, given the time constraints, implementation for 2007 was not therefore an option.

"However, we were very encouraged by the response from the meeting and consider it is only a matter of 'when' and not 'if' for the new wing," he added.
