Tougher floor tests prompt minor changes to McLaren

McLaren have revealed they have carried out minor modifications to the MP4-25′s floor ahead of this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix, in light of the more stringent tests to be applied by the FIA at the Monza event.

The sport’s governing body revised their scrutineering checks following July’s Hungarian race after some teams, namely Red Bull and Ferrari, were accused by rivals of running flexible front wings. After introducing tougher front-wing tests at the last round in Spa, the FIA will carry out a stricter floor test in Italy, with weight applied to the side of a car’s floor as well as its centre.
