McLaren rear wing to be examined at Bahrain

08 March 2010 @ 11:30 GMT - Roger Loop Red Bull Racing's Christian Horner said last week that his team believe that McLaren's rear wing might be illegal. The FIA's Charlie Whiting would have inspected the wing on Friday, but could not due to travelling issues. They will now look at the outfit's rear wing at this weekend's Bahrain race. McLaren has invited the FIA's technical chief Charlie Whiting to their factory prior to the row about the rear wing. McLaren has already had correspondence with the FIA about the design and they believe that it is legal. "The wing is different and innovative, yes. But we have been in contact with Charlie over a period of several months to check that it complies with regulations. We have been assured that it does," said team boss Martin Whitmarsh.
