What do y'all think about the radical front wing McLaren introduced? In case you've missed the story, it's still on F1racing's page.

My guess is that the other teams will be watching very closely.
If McLaren win or show too much pace, then its legality will be brought into question.
Something along the lines of it being too high, too flexible, too large, too curvy, too sexy............

OK, so the on board shots from the McLaren show the top wing element flexing about 20mm, closing down the gap.

When the Ferrari wing was flexing last year there was a lot said and they had to effect a quick fix. Will Mclaren have to do the same before Monaco? Will it still be as effective?
