McLaren's new 2027-spec front wing for their F1 car is making the vehicle more predictable on the track, according to team principal Andrea Stella. The new wing, along with a rear wing, beam wing, and new floor furniture, was introduced during the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos. While the upgrades at the trackside did not initially affect the car's driveability, they aimed to improve it, particularly for the front wing.
Stella expressed satisfaction with the wing's behavior, as per the feedback from the drivers and the data collected. However, there is still a significant gap between the improvements and achieving a fully drivable car. Further enhancements are anticipated for the upcoming races, such as the upcoming race in Vegas.
