McLaren prepares new H-Wing rear wing for Italian Grand Prix at Monza
The McLaren Formula 1 team has announced plans to introduce their own version of the rotating rear wing, named the H-Wing, during this weekend's Italian Grand Prix at Monza. The innovative wing design rotates 180 degrees between cornering mode and straight mode, reducing drag on the straights. After testing a prototype at the Austrian Grand Prix, McLaren decided to trial it in Hungary before finally committing to using the H-Wing at low-drag, high-speed circuits like Monza.
McLaren technical director Neil Houldey stated that the team has brought a competitive package, including the new low-drag rear wing specification and other minor aerodynamic enhancements. He also revealed that the team will run a modified livery at Monza and the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix to promote their partnership with the cryptocurrency company OKX.
