News - 2026-09-06 - By Jenny Marsh

Autosport reported McLaren plans to bring its H-wing to Monza, a rear wing concept said to rotate 180 degrees between cornering and straight-line modes.

Autosport reported McLaren is preparing to introduce its H-wing at this weekend’s 2026 Italian Grand Prix, though the supplied source material does not include team confirmation. The outlet described it as McLaren’s version of a rotating rear wing, with the element said to flip 180 degrees between cornering mode and straight-line mode.

The same report said McLaren developed the concept after seeing Ferrari introduce a similar idea. With no official statement included here, the Monza debut remains a reported development rather than a confirmed update.

McLaren’s name has been tied to Formula 1 innovation for decades. Founder Bruce McLaren made 103 championship entries from 1958 to 1970, winning four races and taking 27 podiums as a driver.
