There is no test in place to actually check if the rear wing moves at speed. The only tests in place are load/deflection tests that are carried out (i) when the car is static and (ii) in a configuration (namely with the rear wing end-plates being disconnected from the bodywork) where the rear wing does not conform to the configuration in which it is actually being raced.

"Separate" ? Could you elaborate ?
