While the McLaren wing passed the FIA's standard static flexibility checks, Marko pointed out that the regulations also prohibit significant bending during actual racing conditions. "That wing bends in the race," he claimed, "and it gives them an advantage."

Oscar Piastri says he’s happy with the apparent flexible rear wing on his race-winning car but it’s not a “magic bullet” making McLaren the team to beat in Formula 1 ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix.
