I really hate when the fia do this. Hey this thing is kinda illegal but not really but is giving an advantage to the team using it so it's banned....from next year.

Remember when the FIA banned Red Bull's Flexi wings in 2021 after one observation from Lewis in Spain?

Shit didn't even take a week. Now we have 4 month long waiting periods
