Wolff willing to take steps against flexi wings: "It will be very messy"

Toto Wolff says Mercedes will take steps to ban Red Bull Racing's flexible rear wing. If the 'Flexi wing' is still on the RB16B during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix Mercedes will lodge a protest.
FIA must come up with a clarification
According to Wolff, Red Bull's rear wing is not legal and the Austrian team is gaining an unfair advantage from it. "If the limbo wings are on in Baku and it has the advantage that we see then it is going to go to the stewards and if it's not enough for the stewards then it's going to go to the ICA. Because if not it will be very messy," Wolff told Sky Sports F1.
Wolff says they have analysed the front wings properly, but the wing of Mercedes and Red Bull bend in the same way, according to Wolff. "We could be protesting each other also on the front wing but it's clear that the rear wing bends more than it should," says the Austrian.
Mercedes is sure
"We are left in a vacuum of new tests being introduced after Baku. It is what it is and we are pretty robust in our legal position but today is not the time to take about it," said Wolff. Despite Red Bull's rear wing, Wolff does admit that the Austrian team won fairly today.
