McLaren has already trialed its stiffer wing successfully in Imola, indicating they are prepared for the flexi-wing clampdown at the Spanish Grand Prix. The FIA has tightened regulations on rear wing flexing and implemented harsher tests at the Barcelona race. The new tolerances for wing deflection have been reduced significantly, with stricter limits also applied to front wing flexing. McLaren has been advanced in exploiting front wing flexing, but the impact of the new regulations remains uncertain for all teams. Despite concerns, McLaren remains confident in their car’s performance with the reinforced front wing tested in Imola. As they head into the Barcelona weekend, McLaren anticipates a closer competition, but believes their car will remain competitive despite the rule changes.
