'Sauber have copied McLaren's f duct'
It looks like Sauber have won the race to become the first team to copy McLaren's controversial rear wing design.
McLaren arrived in Bahrain a fortnight ago with small flaps in the rear wing of the MP4-25, much to the dismay of most of their competitors. However, the FIA gave the flaps - which is apparently operated by the drivers who use their right knee to cover the flow of air into the cockpit tunnel - the green light despite protests of McLaren's rivals. This resulted in several teams indicating that they have no alternative but to copy the design. According to BBC F1 commentator Jonathan Legard, Sauber have already developed their own device and are considering whether to use it during this weekend's Australian Grand Prix. He wrote on Twitter: 'Sauber weighing up whether to run their version of the McLaren 'f duct'. McLaren surprised. Took them 2 yrs to develop it.'
