CDG Wing not viable for 2007, say teams.

The FIA's proposed shake-up of Formula One aerodynamics has received a setback after technical chiefs ruled out the possibility൲ of introducing the radical Centreline Downwash Generating [CDG] Wing for the 2007 season.

The idea had be♏en studied in earnest for the first time since its proposal in October when the technical directors met on Friday, but was rejected as a viable alternative to the current set-up in time for the 2007 campaign.

The FIA's proposed shake-up of Formula One aerodynamics has received a setback after tech𒅌nical chiefs ruled out the possibility of introducing the radical Centreline Downwash Generating [CDG] Wing for the 2007 season.

The idea had been studied in earnest for the first time since its proposal in October when the technical directors met on Friday,🌞 but was rejected as a viable alternative to the current set-up in time for the 2007 😼campaign.

"The discussion was very positive and constructive and has helped to move things forward significantly," an FIA spokesman told Reuters📖, "However, the teams felt that more work had to be done on optimisation and, given the time constraints, impl🉐ementation for 2007 was not therefore an option."

The ▨spokesman did add, however, that talks on the future direction of F𒊎1 aerodynamics suggested that the CDG Wing could make it into the rulebook in the longer term.

"We weꦅre very encouraged by the response from the meeting, and consider it is only a matter of 'when', not 'if', for the new wing," he 🦂insisted.

FIA president Max Mosley had hoped that the radical wing - which would replace the current configuration with two smaller wings behind each rear wheel, with a gap betw✅een them - could be introduced a year before the new F1 rulebook was due for overhaul, but it appears that the teams have now succeeded in delaying its introduction until 2008 at the earliest.
