McLaren is now focusing its attention on the technical elements of its Formula 1 rivals, following the 'mini DRS' controversy of the last races in Baku and Singapore.

Images showing how the 2024 papaya-coloured car's rear wing opened up drag-reducing gaps at its far ends sparked heated debate after the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Ferrari supported Red Bull unofficially as the latter lodged three separate protests with the FIA. Ultimately, McLaren agreed to modify the design for future races.

In a statement following discussions with the FIA in Singapore, McLaren maintained that the low-downforce Baku wing fully "complies with the regulations" and had passed "all deflection tests."

"We would also expect the FIA to have similar conversations with other teams in relation to the compliance of their rear wings," McLaren added.

Team principal Andrea Stella confirmed McLaren's concerns about the rear wing configurations of their competitors' cars.

"It (the process) gave us the opportunity with the FIA to inform them that we also do some due diligence in terms of studying other people (teams)," Stella said.

"We don't want to spend so much energy with the media to try to create big stories. We simply told the FIA what we think is going on, and we are sure they will talk to other teams and make sure they also change their own decisions."

"Maybe these things are less visible than ours, but they certainly exist," Stella concluded.
