How McLaren has offered a glimpse of its future with new F1 rear wing concept

A new low-downforce rear wing debuted at Spa shows the direction McLaren is now taking with its F1 car in 2024

McLaren introduced a new rear wing at Formula 1’s Belgian Grand Prix that signals a shift in concept direction and moves it closer to what Red Bull is doing. The wing is not only the lowest downforce variant that the Woking-based squad has run on its MCL38 so far this year, but is believed to be the first of a new suite of options with this idea that will be rolled out for different track types as they appear on the calendar.

This lower downforce variant of this new design lineage obviously takes up much less space within the allowable box region, but it does so across the entire span of the wing. This results in a more uniform shape across the width of the wing, rather than displaying the deeper spoon-shaped profile that’s normally associated with this regulatory era.
