Following the start of the Argentine Grand Prix, during which Andrea Iannone lost one of his wings against the Honda of Marc Marquez, Loris Capirossi, member of the Grand Prix Safety Commission, visited the Ducati garage to understand the solidity of these elements and the danger they can represent in the event of contact with a rider.
And, as you would expect with a carbon fin that supports a load of well over 10 kilos at 350 km/h, it did not break.
Loris Capirossi: “I went to the Ducati garage to test the strength of the wing, I had an old fairing given to me and, in Indeed, it is impossible to break the fin. This means that if it comes into contact, it could actually hurt. I exclude that this could be banned at present, but it is something we will discuss in the future. In the event of a collision, it could become dangerous.”
