Noticed it earlier when watching the race, the Williams rear wing wobbling/juddering far more than any other car, obviously the low downforce nature of Monza would suggest less stable wings in terms of less structure but it seemed noticeable against all other cars. Thoughts? Obviously delete the topic if everyone calls BS.

Caterham were shaking their booty better than a Fresher at their first disco too...

It's happened quite a few times before during this year, though I don't recall if that was always the Williams car as well.
The particular case of the 'Williams Wobble' was discussed here earlier in the year.

Is it wobbling at the back because they want a tworks engine deal?

Caught my eye as well, maybe they managed to save a few hundred grams with a light structure there.

I saw that too... Does it really serve a purpose (aerodynamically)?
Last year(s) you could see from Reb Bull's on boards that their cars used to shake (wobble) side-to-side when at high speed. Camera illusion?

I remember in years past someone saying on TV that this is not a desirable thing for an aero surface to do. Obviously Williams have figured its not a problem.
