McLaren pulled the cover off its 2027 front wing at Interlagos, debuting a concept that will anchor next year's MCL41 before this season wraps. The new wing marks a philosophy shift: revised attachment points between the main plane and endplate, a relocated nose-to-flap junction now sitting on the second element instead of the main plane, and adjusted flap heights across the assembly. McLaren paired it with floor tweaks and a fresh rear wing as part of a late-season development blitz aimed at locking down third in the constructors' standings. Chief aero officer Peter Prodromou framed the package as dual-purpose — immediate performance gains for the final races and a head start on 2027 development. The move signals McLaren's intent to compress the off-season learning curve, betting that what works now in Brazil will translate when the MCL41 hits the track in February. If the concept delivers, Woking enters 2027 with one fewer question mark.
