SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Formula One leaders McLaren will modify the rear wings on their cars after talks with the governing FIA at the Singapore Grand Prix following concern from rival teams. The British-based team went top of the standings in Azerbaijan last weekend but drew scrutiny of how the rear wing functioned at speed,

While the McLaren wing passed the FIA's standard static flexibility checks, Marko pointed out that the regulations also prohibit significant bending during actual racing conditions. "That wing bends in the race," he claimed, "and it gives them an advantage."

Max Verstappen snubbed Formula One's governing body at a Singapore Grand Prix press conference on Saturday as Lewis Hamilton suggested the reigning champion should not serve a penalty for swearing.
