What do you mean? They only used a single medium and single soft, same as everyone else! Lol
Tires were overheating. But they solved.

I think the new rear wing was somewhat better at giving downforce than expected. Looked like we were understeering until they chnged the front wings

All updates seems to work. McLaren new Windtunnel has to be the best in Buisness

Question: the team selected low or high downforce beam wing?

Good point, I didn't know that they reopened it. Must have been part of the tunnel upgrade.Don't forget the underground test track

Too much rear wing today, we had no top speed. droppping over 3 tenths to other cars when chasing them in the race just on the run up to turn 1

I don't believe so, this was a big topic of discussion a few years ago during the so called "fuel war"
Edit: Quick google suggests that it might actually be Petronas

Any updates planned for Vegas? Do we expect the medium downforce wing to come back?

Vegas is the Monza wing. Cold weather makes the cars genrate much more downforce and the straights are massive.
New wing is for Qatar and Abu Dhabi.

Looks like Baku / Monza / Spa rear wing.

Ferrari run a thin wing like the one in the photo in 2023. Red Bull, whereas, used a bigger wing like McLaren's in the photo. Red Bul won.
Two wings does have different profiles. Could be a possibility that the wings in the photo were just for the sake of testing.
