FIA Orders McLaren to Modify Rear Wing Amid Rival Concerns

McLaren's controversial 'mini-DRS' rear wing faces mandatory changes after an appeal from Red Bull and scrutiny from other teams.

McLaren's rear wing design, dubbed 'mini-DRS,' has come under intense scrutiny for its potential to flex under aerodynamic load, raising performance concerns.
The FIA has mandated modifications to McLaren's rear wing to ensure compliance with regulations under both static and dynamic conditions.
Red Bull and Ferrari have voiced strong objections, with Red Bull's Christian Horner and Sergio Perez labeling the wing as potentially illegal.
McLaren maintains that their rear wing passed all FIA tests and complied with existing regulations, but agreed to make adjustments following discussions with the FIA.
Oscar Piastri's recent victory in Azerbaijan highlighted the wing's performance, intensifying the debate ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix.
