Force India tech boss Andy Green doesn't believe teams will take the ubiquitous T-wing concept to further extremes.

Since its introduction earlier this year, the aerodynamic appendage has gone from single to triple wing configuration on some cars, with new oval concepts also coming into play.

Both Force India and Renault cars appeared in Monaco sporting a rear tri-wing version, but the former believes the device has likely reached its development peak.

"For us, the triple decker is quite Monaco-specific," Andy Green told Motorsport.com.

"Maybe we will have a variant of that in Singapore or possibly Hungary, but at the other tracks we will see a reduced version of it.

"Track efficiency dictates, really, what you can put on the car."

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
