Not only that but a wing moving like that wouldn't be much of an advantage really. Also looks like Leclerc got a run in this years Ferrari at Monza already this year - https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/leclerc-drove-2018-ferrari-in-july-monza-run/3166841/?nrt=54

This is apparently very easy to do as when Williams had to replace Massa with the much taller Di Resta for one race last season - at very short notice.

For quite some time there has been a debate about the aero package on the current cars, particularly about the complicated multi-planed front wings. These are supposed to be one of the main reasons why overtaking is supposedly so difficult currently. Drivers say , that because of the aerodynamics that it is impossible to follow another car closely and it destabilizes the following car due to it losing most of its downforce, thus making overtaking super difficult. Yet at Spa, it seems to be no problem for a car to follow another tightly all the way from La Source down the hill and through Eau Rouge and up past Radillon and all the way up the Kemmel straight before pulling out of the slipstream and overtaking. The Eau Rouge/Radillon complex being supposedly one of the most difficult cornering challenges on the current circuits. Although I believe Eau Rouge can be taken flat these days, as the cars have so much downforce, I still don't understand how a car following is seemingly not aerodynamically compromised at all in this section of this track, yet is compromised at other tracks. Or am I missing something ??
