From the latest on Red Bull's rear wing going into the Belgium Grand Prix to Sergio Perez's hilarious reaction to Lewis Hamilton's Instagram video, GPblog recaps you the best news of the day from the world of Formula 1.

Red Bull allowed to use controversial rear wing in Spa

Red Bull will be allowed to use the 'Macarena' rear wing during the Belgium Grand Prix, despite Max Verstappen's recent crashes in Austria and Silverstone. GPblog understands that the FIA has not yet made a decision on the innovative wing concept, despite the ongoing investigation following Verstappen's accidents during qualifying for the Austrian GP and in the race for the British GP.
During both race weekends, the rear wing on his Red Bull did not fully close, causing the Dutchman to suddenly lose a large amount of rear downforce in fast corners and run off the track. At Silverstone, Verstappen said he was "lucky" and that he could have "really hurt" himself.
The FIA is in talks with both Red Bull and Ferrari about the rear wing which rotates on the straight to reduce drag and is supposed to be fully closed again before entering the corner. Red Bull meanwhile hope to have a solution to the problem for the upcoming F1 weekend in Belgium.
