It was McLaren itself, as admitted by the British crew, that supplied to switch the controversial wing, which flexed to the purpose of making a noticeable mini-DRS impact in Baku.
The assertion“Though our Baku rear wing complies with the rules and passes all of the FIA’s deflection assessments, McLaren has proactively supplied to make some minor modifications to the wing following our conversations with the FIA,” reads the primary a part of the crew’s assertion.
The assertion concludes with a touch of criticism: “We anticipate the FIA to have comparable discussions with different groups relating to the compliance of their rear wings.”
Briefly, McLaren doesn’t cover its frustration over this determination, reiterating that the wing handed each kind of check by the Federation. Nonetheless, McLaren has already gained nearly all of the benefit it might from the rear wing, as it could have been used once more solely in Las Vegas, the third-to-last race of the championship.
