CONSTANT EVOLUTION ON THE McLAREN FRONT WING

The McLaren front wing has been constantly tweaked this year, with evolutions already brought to the part in Bahrain, Russia, Spain, Canada, and Great Britain. In Hungary, the front wing featured revised upper flaps. Their leading edges had been streamlined, while their outlines sloped more abruptly. The notch that had first appeared in Barcelona, though it had never been raced, was back… albeit in a different design. All these updates aim at changing the way the all-important Y250 vortex is generated.
