When the wing is tested, it's resting against it's bump stop. It will never move!! Don't you see? I really can't add to whats been explained in Mulsannes Mike's post. All I can suggest is to read it again.
Wow I'm so tired of this subject.

Looking at 3.6.2, I don't see anything the car violates, from what we know. The wing, the vertical support, the endplates, the attachments. All the tests are specified right in the regs.
What we have is a team that spent a great deal of effort analyzing all that stuff, designed something that complied with all that stuff, nobody can point to any detail of that stuff which it violates and the argument against is just "But it moves!"
So, supposing Mike's analysis is 100% correct (he admits to being 80% of the way there on the most recent addition), it still meets all the stuff in 3.4 and 3.6.2.
Which probably has a lot to do with why it was allowed to run.
