All of the surfaces on the car will deflect under load. All of them. They will all move and all twist and im sure the cunning designers make the most they can of this. It is impossible to fix anything to the car that will not distort under load it is a physical impossibility.
Knowing that everything has to bend to a degree, the question becomes how much is it allowed to bend. Enter the FIA load deflection test which sets out exactly how much deflection is allowed and how much is too much.
I say again. Every car will bend under load, the track deflects as the cars drive over it, motorway bridges deflect under load and move in the wind etc. Everything has a degree of deflection.
