in case you are unaware of the mcl38 rear wing, it has been constructed in such a way that at high speed, the force of the fast airflow causes the drs flap to flex when closed, creating a small gap and reducing the wing angle slightly

#

when the driver brakes, the wing returns to its original shape and restores full downforce

#

this allows the McLaren to reduce its drag on the straights by a small amount without having to compromise downforce for the corners

i strongly disagree when people think it’s “against the spirit of the regs”. Formula One is a technological sport, and the innovations teams make to win are always fun and as long as they’re not cheating, I will always support any type of innovation teams make.

people saying 'but it's not meant to flex so other teams don't do it'

#

that's either because they can't do it, or they are too cautious to try
