McLaren not fazed by rear wing controversy

McLaren are confident that their rear wing is well within the rules despite suggestions that the FIA have been asked to clarify its legality.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has been quoted by various British newspaper as saying that his team, together with Ferrari, have approached the FIA asking for a ruling on the MP24's rear wing, with teams reportedly unhappy with the manner in which McLaren were using their airbox and engine cover to reduce drag.

However, McLaren have released a statement insisting that they are not aware of any investigation by the FIA and are in no way worried about any questions that may be asked about the car.

"We're very confident that our car is entirely legal - and we're not aware of any protest. In fact, we've spoken to Ferrari this morning and they're not aware of any protest either."

Ferrari themselves are yet to comment on the issue.
