McLaren has not submitted any front wing changes to the FIA at the Spanish Grand Prix despite the new flexi-wing technical directive changing the F1 regulations.
McLaren and Mercedes have not publicly announced any front wing modifications to comply with the updated flexi-wing regulation for this weekend’s F1 race. Mercedes implemented the required changes earlier at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix to stay ahead of their competitors. Red Bull and Ferrari have both submitted upgrades for their front wings in the official disclosure document. Red Bull adjusted the first and second elements of their front wing, focusing on the flaps and tips. Ferrari made changes to their endplates and outboard tip rolls, in addition to adjusting the loading distribution of the wing elements. Aston Martin, Haas, Red Bull Racing, and Williams have all reported modifications to their front wings to comply with the new technical directive (TD018H). Interestingly, Alfa Romeo has revised its front wing design, but their justification for the update doesn’t explicitly mention the new regulations, stating it as a “small change to the transition between the mainplane and endplate.”
