F1-fans zien illegale achtervleugel McLaren: "Zelfs mijn hond snapt dit"

De achtervleugel van McLaren roept ontzettend veel vragen op op social media. veel Formule 1-fans zijn van mening dat de Britse formatie zogenaamde en verboden flexi wings op de auto heeft zitten. Flexi wings buigen dusdanig mee door de luchtstroom op het rechte stuk, dat er een hogere snelheid behaald kan worden. De FIA oordeelde eerder dit seizoen al dat dit niet het geval is, maar daar denken veel social media-gebruikers anders over.

🚨 Shocking, McLaren has 2 DRS gadgets.
New: an extra mini DRS that opens automatically

After the flexi front wing, now they've a flexi rear wing. Even my dog can see that this isn’t right.

Seeing this, you might be wondering how McLaren has made such a significant jump since… pic.twitter.com/98R7lQnFrq

McLaren's innovations are certainly raising eyebrows. From their extra mini DRS to the flexible rear wing, it’s clear they’ve pushed the boundaries of engineering. This leap since Miami is impressive, but raises questions about their equipment’s legality and fairness.

They all have flexible wings. They’ve flexed for years especially after the ‘ elements design’. Maybe they’ve found a way for the wing element to flex backwards more under a specific wind load? But I bet they’re not the first.

If it passes the tests then it's within the regulations.

If that car is legal, I'm winning the Lottery Jackpot this week!

It’s innovative and within the rules, what F1 is all about. Just one of those things where if your team had done it you’d be fine with it but they didn’t so it’s “illegal”
