You sure you're in the right place?
Anyway, the new rear wing works by allowing the leading edge of the top-most aileron on the wing to pivot upwards. In doing so, it reduces both drag and downforce allowing straight-line speed to be increased. it is only "up" for as long as the drive has their finger on the button. Since it pivots at the back, the air-pressure will ensure it returns to it's normal position as soon as the button is released, even if the mechanism is a bit wonky.
Tie this in with a lot of the new KERS with their corresponding 'boost' buttons and we might start to see some more overtakes in F1 this year.
Fwiw, I'm not really an F1 fan.. I just like the technology.
