Red Bull knows why flexible front wings flutter, according to Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport.<\/p>\n
With the 2011 title chase over, Ferrari began experimenting with Red Bull-like front wings recently but have struggled to solve a “fluttering” phenomenon seen mainly on the car driven by Felipe Massa.<\/p>\n
But Red Bull also experienced some fluttering in Abu Dhabi, with team boss Christian Horner also admitting: “Mark Webber had the same (problem) at Suzuka.”<\/p>\n
The German magazine cites Red Bull sources in saying the explanation is quite simple.<\/p>\n
The fluttering usually occurs at the end of a straight with the DRS rear wing system deployed, meaning that the aerodynamic load is increased at the front of the car.<\/p>\n
“Then, if the tyre pressure is low, the car bounces on the tyre” causing the heavier endplates to vibrate, said Auto Motor und Sport.<\/p>\n
