Spanish veteran Fernando Alonso faced engine performance issues during a Formula 1 practice session, leading to an early end. The talk of the weekend is a new front-wing flexibility test by the FIA to curb teams' use of flexing wings for aerodynamic gains. Teams like Red Bull and Ferrari expect this test to boost their competitiveness, while McLaren downplays its impact. The test aims to address issues of understeer and oversteer in the new-gen cars by reducing front wing effectiveness at high speeds, aiding cornering stability.
