After the race, Stella said the new wing was working and they were happy with it.

McLaren MCL40 Rear Wing:
· In Monaco, the McLaren drivers used different setups during the race.
Norris fitted the Canadian rear wing with the modified SM actuator, while Piastri used the Japanese wing with the smoother endplate
· However, in the previous Barcelona-Catalunya GP, both used the rear wing tested in Canada with the original SM system.

And FW Vortex generators. Previously, they had never been seen, so it's not to be ruled out that they were already there, however it's possible that they arrived with the revision of the end plate in Barcelona

Peter Prod & his team in full swing again...

And they should be cause is a gap to recover vs Mercedes and Ferrari. And I heard that this is the main focus now on MTC, to significantly increase de aero efficiency of the MCL40 package. And the FW is now back on track, after the Canada setback.

A quick reminder of the rules, guys.

Car threads are about THIS car. Mercedes did this... does not belong here.

The car threads are about things that did go in the car or about things known to go in the car. Not about what one wishes went in the car. A certain amount of speculation might make sense, sometimes, but more often than not, would be better in tehteam threads.

The car threads are definitively not about winning and losing.
