McLaren has issued a statement following the FIA’s ruling on the car’s rear wing ahead of the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix.

The MCL38’s rear wing was noted to be slightly open at high speeds over the Baku weekend, giving the driver extra downforce on the straights.

This led to suggestions that the car was not operating within its technical regulations.

As a result, rival teams asked the FIA ​​to investigate the issue, and on Friday it was announced that the element was not illegal – however, the FIA ​​had asked McLaren to change the system.

McLaren has now confirmed that the conversation with the FIA ​​was successful and understands that it was the team that suggested the changes, not the governing body, which requested the changes.

However, the report states that it is hoped the FIA ​​will negotiate with other teams over their rear wings.

“Although our Baku rear wing complies with the regulations and has passed all FIA deflection tests, McLaren have proactively offered to make some minor adjustments to the wing following our discussions with the FIA,” the team said in a statement.

“We also expect the FIA ​​to have similar discussions with other teams regarding the compliance of their rear wings.”

It can be confirmed that the rear wing configuration is not on the car this weekend in Singapore and will not be used until Las Vegas, allowing time for the necessary adjustments to be made.

By offering to make the changes themselves, the Woking-based team has done so to alleviate growing pressure from other teams.
