I think the RACE had an article published early January that was Mclaren was one of those few teams that approached FIA about this, could it be that they were preparing for this all along?

Stands to reason that the team that had mastered flexing already was best able to adapt to the tighter regs.

I dont think so.

If they gained the most, they'd lose the most. That stands to reason.

Or they'd be best able to adapt to them. If a team has struggled to understand flexible wings already, then they're not going to do as good a job adapting to new rules.

A team which has the best understanding, is best places to understand how to adapt to the new rules.

Red Bull back when they ran flexi wings back in the day knew how to get around any new test they had blown diffusers to ran through a few modifications, the hot and cold blown diffuser etc.
