Early on Thursday morning, a statement was released by the FIA after there was a lot of talk surrounding the rear wing of the McLaren car. Many fans saw that there was a lot of movement from the wing down the straights in Baku last week, and its legality was then questioned. The FIA’s statement said that data was still being studied regarding the ‘flexi-wing’.Oscar Piastri was asked about the rear wing, but he said, bluntly, “that it was legal” and was unfazed about it. Max Verstappen also had no real opinion on the wing, saying “It’s up to the FIA, of course, to decide.” But teammate Sergio Perez was not so eager to wait for the FIA’s finding: “I am pretty surprised by this” said the Mexican after finding out there was no decision made just yet.
