FIA: McLaren Rear Wing Assessment


With all the controversy surrounding Mclaren's rear wing design, the technical team at the Woking based outfit can hardly be comfortable with the failure of the scheduled inspection by the FIA's technical delegate Charlie Whiting last week.
After his flight was delayed to visit Mclaren, Charlie was unable to make his appointment to clarify the controversial design, leaving the decision making to the start of the Bahrain campaign in four days time.
This hardly leaves the Mclaren team with any other solution other than taking two aero packages to the race, which is exactly what they're doing.

McLaren's managing director Jonathan Neale:
"We're not taking a radically different package, but you just never know what the stewards are going to do on the day."

"If the stewards decide on a different course of action though, it's still our duty to go racing. So we have a contingency, but I wouldn't put much effort into it and I'm not expecting it to be used."
