McLaren torna alla vecchia ala anteriore per la Sprint in Canada

La McLaren è tornata alla precedente specifica dell'ala anteriore prima delle qualifiche Sprint del Gran Premio del Canada, dopo che entrambi i piloti avevano segnalato una mancanza di fiducia nella nuova versione.

La McLaren ha introdotto la seconda fase del pacchetto di aggiornamenti di Miami a Montreal, che includeva una nuova ala anteriore insieme a una nuova copertura del motore, carenature della sospensione posteriore riviste e modifiche ai bordi del fondo. Lando Norris ha iniziato le prove libere con l'ala aggiornata, mentre Oscar Piastri ha iniziato con la specifica precedente prima di passare a quella nuova più tardi nella sessione. Nessuno dei due piloti si è sentito a proprio agio con la nuova componente, portando il team a tornare alla versione precedente per il resto del weekend in regime di parc fermé.
