No official debut at the Red Bull Ring. Ferrari has set a precedent. The ‘Macarena’ rear wing had stolen the eye in the winter tests in Bahrain and various teams set to work to replicate the brilliant intuition shown by the Maranello team. The ‘Macarena’ wing with opposite rotation needed some mileage before officially debuting in Miami, a weekend in which Red Bull also presented its even ‘larger’ version compared to Ferrari when the RB22 activates the device. According to what was reported by the newspaper The-Race.com, this weekend McLaren will test the first ‘steps’ of its Macarena on the track. The Woking team will carry out tests in free practice comparing the data exactly as Ferrari did in China. The official debut of ‘Macarena papaya’ is expected later in the season. The McLaren would be the first Mercedes-powered car to also be able to count on this idea aimed at maximizing straight-line performance.
