McLaren CEO Zak Brown has insisted his team’s controversial flexible rear-wing isn’t the “secret sauce” behind their success in the 2024 F1 season.

McLaren’s rear wing was in the spotlight after 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri’s starring victory at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

His impressive straight-line speed allowed him to overtake 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc before defending from the Ferrari driver for wel🦩l over a dozen laps.

Footage on social 💖media was brought to the attention ⛦of a number of teams and the FIA.

It was announced during the Singapore weekend🍃 that McLaren, following discussions w💦ith the FIA, were happy to make a “small modification”.

The rear wing in question is only set to be used at low downforce tracks, like Las Vegas, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris domi🌺nating last time out at the Marina Bay Street ꦆCircuit, without this rear wing.

Speaking to The Time🐠s, Brown assessed the drama surr𒉰ounding the rear wing.

“Whoever’s winning, everyone’s always staring at the c꧙ar to understand what they’re doing,” he sai🧔d.

“It’s totally natura🃏l that people are staring at our car at the moment and then coming to conclusions, a lot of them i🅠ncorrectly. We’ve passed every single test.

“We offered to make a small modification, just because we don’t think it will 🌌make much of a difference and there’s a lot of noise around it - so to demonstrate that there’s no secret sauce, we were like, ‘Well, we’ll modify it slightly.’”

Brown cꦫompletely understands why McLarenꦕ’s rivals are complaining about it - even if they were wrong.

“They [rivals] wouldn’t be doing their jobs 🐠if they weren’t making noise,” Brown explained.

“It’s a compliment that people are looking at our car and challenging. We’ve got gooܫd innovation on our car.”

Heading into the Unite🐽d States Grand Prix, McLaren sit comfortably clear at the top of the F1 constructors’ championship.

They’re on c♛ourse to win their first teams’ title since 1998.
