Sepang F1 Roundup

Controversy about alleged 'illegal' wings lingered on even after the chequered flag at Sepang. Although compromise and concessions were reportedly on the table, it is not certain that Ferrari will agree to change its supposedly 'flexible' front and rear wings, with Ross Brawn even denying that there is anything wrong with the current FIA tests.
