Formula 1 racing team McLaren is once again faced with cheating allegations. The reason is a video that went viral after the race in Japan and was spread by Jos Verstappen, among others. Clear to see: a suspicious flexible rear wing.
The Flexi-Wing debate around Formula 1 racing team McLaren does not subside. A video that went viral after the Grand Prix of Japan fuels the discussions about the part of the MCL39, which bends so far with closed DRS that a small DRS effect is still achieved.
Among other things, the Verstappen camp believes that this is an illegal trick of the British. Both Max and father Jos made their point of view after the race in Suzuka. The four -time world champion with clear statements to the press, Jos by spreading a video, on which it can be clearly seen how much the rear wing at high speed bends.
Verstappen indicates McLaren cheating
“Many people see what I see,” said Verstappen in Japan in a great way. “Everyone pushes the boundaries and the FIA has to decide what is allowed. Maybe,” continued the Red Bull pilot, “some people read the regulations a little differently”.
He does not do the rules himself and you can therefore not impose other drivers and teams on the world. But he himself knew exactly what is going on. “What I see is probably what many people see,” said the Dutch.
FIA knows the video from Suzuka
Exciting: According to “The Race” information, the FIA was pointed out to the viral video. However, since no formal complaint against McLaren has yet been received, no investigation has yet been initiated.
Problematic according to “The Race”. For this reason, the FIA uses its own high -resolution cameras to recognize any rule violations. So far, however, no misconduct of the McLaren wing has been recognized. As great as the suspicion of the British is, the presumption of innocence applies so much.
