Wasn't Ferrari accused of having a "moving wing" on their '06 F1 car.

I seem to remember that it would just lay down at high speeds. No mechanical or electronics gadgets, just constructing the wing composites to react to the air going over it at slow vs. high speeds.

I found the following on a UK F1 blog from May '06

"The moving parts are the rear elements that make up the wing, they 'bend' so that the gap between them becomes smaller. This was accentuated by the Ferrari's easily topping the speed traps at San Marino."

something to think on.
