McLaren faced questions from rival teams after the Azerbaijan GP when the legality of its rear wing was called into question.
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella sees it as positive news that rival F1 teams are focusing on their rear wing issues. Despite onboard footage showing MCL38’s rear wing flexing, McLaren indicated it would address mounting tension without FIA intervention. Stella believes the attention on their rear wing deflects focus away from rivals, prompting them to concentrate on self-improvement. McLaren is currently leading the constructors’ championship and Lando Norris is closing in on Max Verstappen in the drivers’ standings. Stella remains confident in McLaren’s approach, aiming to stay focused on legitimate technical solutions amid the competitive season.
