How would it move at speed without the 2nd element moving with it? There, the mountings are the same as the previous Toyota lmp's. This means only the central point of the main plane would move if the stiffness is retained at the attachment on the endplates? I cant see how with the attachments to the 2nd element being rigid the wing would move.

Thanks to the single mounting (pivoting) point where the main plane of the rear wing connects to the swan neck support, the central portion of the rear wing will necessarily be allowed to rotate downwards at speed under the action of air pressure, thereby allowing the whole rear wing to bend.
I honestly cannot see how this can be allowed to race. The ACO-FIA should react on their own motion, especially after their recent clarifications about "movable bodywork parts/elements".
