McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella has said the FIA’s incoming clampdown on flexible front wings in F1 is “no headache at all”.
“McLaren was involved in the flexi-wing debate last year, with rivals accusing them of exploiting aero-elasticity rules. The FIA found no rule breaches at the Belgian Grand Prix but later issued a technical directive to reduce wing flexibility from 15mm to 10mm. Rear wings will be scrutinized from the start of the season, with the front wing tests starting at the Spanish GP in 2025. McLaren’s technical director, Stella, stated that adapting to the new rules won’t be a major issue for them. However, there may be minor adjustments required by Race 9 of the season. Other teams, like Williams, are also preparing for the changes, with varying impacts expected across the grid.”
