F1 LIVE: McLaren refuses FIA request as Ferrari absence confirmed for Chinese Grand Prix | F1 | Sport


McLaren are adamant they won’t need to make any modifications to their car following the FIA’s clampdown.

Following the Australian Grand Prix, the FIA has moved to tighten up the tests for flexing rear wings and has cut the tolerance of slot gap movement from 2mm to 0.75mm for this weekend’s race.

However, McLaren remains steadfast they won’t be changing their wings following the FIA request.

Speaking in China, Norris said: “Nope, we don’t have to change anything.

“Ours is fine. In fact ours is probably too good and we probably are not pushing the limits enough honestly.

“If this technical directive was applied for last weekend we’d also be fine so it’s not directed at us it seems.

“It’s directed at other teams, which probably means we need to push it even more.”
