McLaren and Alpine have brought significant changes to the front wings of their F1 cars at the BritishGP.

As expected, given the propensity for teams to do so, the main changes are made in the outer portion, altering how the flaps and endplate interact in order to improve the outwash effect. has achieved this by increasing the chord length of the mainplane while reducing the chord length of the three flaps thereafter.

Modifications have also been made to the diveplane. This is still an S-shaped variant but has been lifted into a higher position and reprofiled to suit the new locale. However, this probably has more to do with the aerodynamic properties it poses in this position, rather than the view it provides.
