McLAREN’S REVISED FRONT WING

Despite McLaren being hamstrung by an underpowered and unreliable power unit, there is no let up in the British team’s development pace.

The MCL32’s front wing has been revised for instance. The winglet inside the endplate has become a three-element setup, which brings further evidence of Mercedes’ trending aero philosophy of segmentation.

What’s more, it seems that McLaren also tested another spec of front wing, which featured a more curved main board (see yellow arrow).
