McLaren H-wing Dropped for Spanish GP

McLaren has decided against using its upside-down H-wing concept for the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid.

McLaren is parking its H-wing concept for this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid, with its version of the rotating Formula 1 rear wing set to return in Baku. The Woking-based team had been working on its own interpretation of the rear wing, which rotates 180 degrees between Corner Mode and Straight Mode, after seeing Ferrari pioneer its concept during winter testing.

The decision to drop the concept for the Spanish race suggests McLaren needs more development time or has identified specific track conditions where the design would be most effective. rouesnews.click
