McLaren and Mercedes Front Wing Complaints Dismissed.

Posted 2 months ago

Formula 1's governing body has dismissed Red Bull and Ferrari's complaints regarding the legality of the front wings on McLaren and Mercedes cars.

Red Bull and Ferrari had raised concerns that the front wings on McLaren and Mercedes cars were flexing too much and might not meet regulations.

However, the FIA confirmed on Tuesday that "all front wings are currently compliant with the 2024 regulations."

Red Bull and Ferrari have not commented on the decision.

The complaints emerged amid McLaren and Mercedes' recent boost in performance. Red Bull, which dominated earlier in the season, is now facing increased pressure from McLaren in both the drivers' and constructors' championships.

Max Verstappen acknowledged after the Italian Grand Prix that the world champions are struggling to address issues affecting their car's competitiveness.

Despite having a 62-point lead over McLaren's Lando Norris, Verstappen admitted that both championships seem unlikely to be won at the moment.

With eight races remaining and 232 points still up for grabs, Verstappen's last victory was in Spain in June.
