McLaren has put its plans to evaluate a new low-drag rear wing package on pause until after the Formula 1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Autosport has learned.
The team brought a rear wing treatment inspired by Ferrari's so-called 'Macarena' wing to the Red Bull Ring and planned to evaluate it on Lando Norris' car during practice for the Austrian Grand Prix. But it decided the component needed more development before trying it on track, where any failure would cost valuable running time.
