Just had a quick check of the replay

They mentioned the new front wing they had in Canada that hasn't been since.

The flip rear wing in testing here.
Sorry I’m struggling to follow.
I thought- almost certainly thought that they ran the new front wing in Barcelona?
I'll go through the replay again sometime they mentioned the from wing from Canada so I might have misheard the not seen since. Or they were wrong . I had it playing in the background a the time and wasn't paying a ton of attention just that caught my attention they didn't know if all they updates worked as planned.
Ok. Well I’ve found this. It’s Stella saying that the new front wing was raced in Barcelona and has given a step forward in laptime:

Just a fan's point of view*

*statement was relevant when the forum had a high level of intelligence. Now we are just equals.

#-o

The front wing has been permanently installed on the car since the Spanish Grand Prix, and the team is working on developing this concept. The rear wing is scheduled to debut after the summer break, so don't expect it to appear anytime soon.

My mistake a bit again. Sorry for the confusion,

Sorry said it was removed in Canada I misheard not being used again. But did question if it didn't quite work as they thought. And maybe some updates in general had been a little hit and miss.
