😅 McLaren’s OTHER bendy F1 wing

McLaren can’t use its controversial rear wing with its clever ‘mini-DRS’ anymore, but that’s not the only bendy wing making its F1 car go faster than anyone else’s.

McLarens innovation has been wonderful this season

[nitinachari]

Next: McLarens mirror arm bends in high speed, giving them an advantage.. it is a flexy mirror..

Driver head tilts while taking corner giving them a aero advantage. Flexy driver..

F1, we are about innovation!
Also F1, that innovation is illegal.
Also also F1, we love competition!
Also also also F1, no we don't need more teams to add more competition.

I loce flexible aero but I hate that Redbull got its banned in 2021 and Aston Martin got theirs banned in 2023 but now this is allowed

[KarenTondro]

İ dont understand
Red bull got their flexi wing banned in 2021
Aston Martin got their flexi wing banned in 2023

“The aggressive flap angle helps it deform in slow corners to then not be too powerful in high speed corners”

Wouldn’t it be deflected when the car is at speed rather than in slow corners?

[Hahahah_ven]

Aston Martin and had redbull had theirs banned so why is McLaren still allowed to use it? And it can’t be about innovation because even mercs das system was banned

[RedHaloManiac]

Ngl their wing bends so much on the front. Those little tabs where the wings split completely separate. I’m just confused why other seasons this same thing has been banned but it keeps coming back. Didn’t Aston Martin have something banned last year?

[Toms_Channel]

Flexing wings aren’t allowed, how are these “100% legal”?

[SchumiGibtGummi]

If u watch onboards of the redbud around Singapore, u will notice the frontline bending the same amount

[chequeredflag]

Yet nobody talks about their mechanical platform. That car in Singapore was riding over those kerbs like they didn't exist. Meanwhile every other car had to be careful and RedBull not even touching most kerbs.

[henrywagner]

Engineered deformation has got to be one of the coolest concepts for future aero design

[sobanoodlez]

haven't we seen other wings that got banned after bending under wind pressure? Didn't Merc have such a thing a while back?

[MapleShrimp]

Carbon fiber weaving is an advanced form of wizardry

[xjuliussx]

sorry i missed to understand the part with "perfect legal flexi wing of McLaren" - FiA said it clearly that no wing should bend more than 1mm ¬!!!!

[POVRR]

If all these F1 drivers move to indy car, It will be so much entertaining, all racing with equal cars.

[A_noobed]

Mclarens slowly turning it car into bendable

[aumpauskar]

I hate it when the FIA bans innovation, be it Mercedes' with its double DRS, DAS, Red Bull's antics with blown diffuser, flexi wings and McLaren's infamous F-duct

[zeenakal]

I think I have seen this before… *flashback to F duct*

[frankm]

FIA needs to redefine “Movable body/aerodynamic components “. Definitely that’s one.
