LUSAIL, Qatar -- Toto Wolff says Red Bull is seeing "ghosts" after his rival team principal Christian Horner claimed scuff marks on the rear wing of the Mercedes were linked to flexing bodywork.
On Friday, Red Bull circulated images to TV broadcasters of scuff marks on the rear wing endplate under the main plain of the Mercedes' rear wing.
In several interviews, Horner has claimed the marks are indicative of the main part of the wing flexing under aerodynamic load, thereby decreasing drag and increasing top speed on the straights.
Although some flexing of bodywork is inevitable on an F1 car, moveable aerodynamic devices are outlawed under the regulations and there have been numerous suggestions from Red Bull that Mercedes may be gaining an illegal advantage.
