When the motive force hits the brakes, or is travelling at a slower velocity, the rear wing goes again to regular, so downforce is optimised.

Previous to Sky Sports activities Information studying concerning the FIA’s request to McLaren, chief government Zak Brown reiterated his crew’s automobile had “passed every single test”.

“I think it’s great for the championship. We’re running at the front, so there are going to be things that are clearly working well on our race car. And to your point, everyone else is going to try to speed up and slow us down at the same time. Welcome to Formula 1.”
