Flexi-Wing Rule Change and McLaren Advantage at Spanish Grand Prix

Flexi-Wing Rule Change and McLaren Advantage at Spanish Grand Prix

Formula 1 teams are racing in Spain, with a new rule restricting how flexible the front wings of the cars can be.

This is meant to make the cars perform more consistently.

McLaren is likely to benefit from the rule change, potentially helping them win again.

McLaren can control how heat exits the car.

This setup is especially helpful at lower-speed circuits, as well as the expected hotter temperatures.

The race has Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in the driver standings, with Norris winning a recent race.
