The wings of McLaren and Mercedes in particular have drawn attention over recent races for apparently flexing more than the spirit of the regulations allow, but each have passed the standard FIA load-bearing tests. 

Wings will always flex to create more downforce as they are loaded with the forces of a grand prix car, with certain tolerances built in, but Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko wants to see greater investigation into the McLaren and Mercedes designs.
