According to some reports, Mercedes has exploited a gray area in the laws.
The fixed rear wing moves during the straight line, which makes the downforce less and therefore greater speed... I mean, we say that a fake mini DRS system works outside the areas allowed by the laws, any fixed dynamic part should not be It moves by more than 2 mm and it seems that Mercedes found the loophole and exploited it.
Helmut Marko was honest when he said it was impossible that the engine alone gave the advantage to Mercedes

I wonder how substantiated this information is and what consequences it will lead to. In my opinion, the regulators will not interfere here and inflate some kind of problem from this for one simple reason: the current championship is competitive and nothing needs to be changed. But I remember how, in the days of Hakkinen, Michelin tires, due to a loophole in the rules, gained a huge advantage over Bridgestone tires and because of this, the championship ceased to be competitive (Mercedes on Michelin dominated Ferrari on Bridgestone), the regulators quickly intervened and closed the loophole.
