Another McLaren F1 trick? Front wing concept revealed

Anyone who believes mermaids have nothing to do with F1, they better think again. McLaren's front wing shows a series of mini-flaps on each side, in the form of mermaid tails.

Earlier in the day the FIA unveiled the upgrades teams had brought to Canada. In the description of McLaren's updated front wing the team said: "A revised front wing geometry aiming at improved aerodynamic performance across a wide range of attitudes, through a redesign of main elements as well as introduction of 'mermaid tails' to the front wing endplate."

During the first practice session at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, McLaren finished in a dissapointing P7 and P14 with Lando Norris leading Oscar Piastri, whils Max Verstappen took P1 ahead of both Williams cars of Alexander Albon and Carlos Sainz.
