Yesterday, Italian media reported that the radical 'upside down' rear wing that Ferrari debuted during Bahrain pre-season testing will arrive with the Scuderia at the next race in China.

After investigating the matter, GPblog understands that three different specifications of the concept seen in Bahrain will be shipped to Shanghai, even though the element was already part of the team’s available pool.

However, with just one hour of practice scheduled during the season's first sprint weekend, it remains unclear what Ferrari’s plan is.

The Scuderia could choose to run the wing during FP1 and then decide whether to carry it through the rest of the weekend, or alternatively shelve it for the time being in order to gather more data before introducing it properly at upcoming rounds.

Elsewhere, F1 fans have said their criticisms of the new 2026 regulations have been 'censored' by the brand's social media accounts, with a 'community note' also added to the sport's 'X' page which was sharing Franco Colapinto's maximum speed in Australia.

Following the season opener in Melbourne, the new era of racing in F1 was subject to mixed reviews from fans, with some excited by George Russell and Charles Leclerc's epic battle, but others critical of 'artificial racing' and a tamer second half of the race.

F1's social media, unsurprisingly, has painted a more positive picture of the new regulations, but fans have claimed they have manipulated race footage, and have even gone as far as 'censoring' negative opinions in their replies.
