McLaren cleared a major potential hurdle yesterday when the FIA declared their controversial rear wing to be legal. It is believed that an air inlet on the left side of the monocoque chassis can be opened and closed by movement of the drivers left knee, to direct airflow over the rear wing and help stall it to make the car faster on the straights. It has been described as a simple but brilliant trick, and the scrutineers had no problem with it. |
