^^^^ exactly this ^^^^

Car can be any shape on the track but must pass the FIA static load deflection tests

No structure is infinitely stiff and all structures expand/shrink with temperature

Dynamic measuring of real parts is not practical so FIA can set limits but can only virtual check using FEA, set crash test criteria or static load tests

FIA left an open loophole and clever teams have driven a truck through the rules book, good for them, excellent job, no cheating going on!
