McLaren’s rear wing caught the attention of rival teams after the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
The FIA clarified why it chose not to intervene in McLaren’s rear wing controversy in Baku, citing the team’s compliance with regulations. McLaren’s MCL38 displayed flexing at high speeds, enhancing straight-line performance, though McLaren assured the wing’s legality. McLaren will modify the wing before its next appearance in Las Vegas this year. FIA single-seater director Tombazis commended McLaren’s cooperation and dismissed the need for immediate action post-Baku. The tension among teams heightened, prompting McLaren’s modifications as they strive for their first F1 title since 2008. Tombazis noted the issue was exaggerated due to specific conditions in Baku, indicating openness to address concerns earlier with notification.
