Verstappen reacts to McLaren's much-discussed 'flexi-wings'
On Thursday, Oscar Piastri defended McLaren's 'legal' rear wing design during the press conference in Singapore. Max Verstappen was also asked his opinion after McLaren passed Red Bull in the Constructors standings, and took the top position. The three-time world champion responded with his opinion.
Verstappen awaits FIA investigation
"I've seen the footage, that's the beautiful side of social media, right? Everyone has the video ready, and then, of course, a lot of discussion is made. I mean, it's quite clear, of course, that it's moving at speed. It might be smart, it might not be smart, but at the end of the day, it's up to the FIA, of course, to decide if it's legal or not," Verstappen stated.
Nevertheless, Verstappen is not concerned with McLaren's decisions, and would rather leave it to the FIA to investigate. Instead, he would rather focus on his own team, as they now continue to challenge the British team and reclaim their top position."Of course, Baku was not the first time that it was used. There were other tracks as well. I guess it's important to come with a clarification. But that's not only on the rear wing. It's the front wing as well. But what is allowed, how much is it allowed to bend, all these kinds of things, right? So we just have to wait and see from our side," the Dutchman concluded.
