The ‘Macarena’ rear wing, given that name for the way it flips around 180° upside down, shocked the paddock when first introduced by Ferrari at Bahrain pre-season testing. The Scuderia used the rear wing at Round 2 in China, but only during FP1 - it was next seen for the full Grand Prix weekend at Miami following F1’s five-week break.

F1’s return in May also saw Red Bull introduce a ‘Macarena’ rear wing in Miami, as part of an extensive upgrade package that allowed Max Verstappen to qualify P2 for the Grand Prix, where he ultimately finished P5 but appeared more comfortable than ever in his RB22.

McLaren, like Red Bull, brought seven upgrades of to the Sunshine State, and to even greater effect. The world champions made a sluggish start to the season but with improvements made over April, they were rewarded in Miami with a Sprint one-two victory, and a double podium Grand Prix finish for Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, respectively.

Despite making their own progress, McLaren’s MCL40, as Brown revealed to Sky F1 in Miami, could very well be the next car on the grid to to join the ‘Macarena’ trend, having confirmed the Woking team have had a close look at their rivals.

“We have. As you can imagine, all the teams look at what each other do,” Brown said. “It’s clever and we think it could be beneficial, so not surprised to see another team using it.”

With both McLaren and Red Bull making good progress in their bid to catch Ferrari and championship leaders Mercedes, Brown believes the field will begin to bunch up sooner rather than later. Looking at Red Bull, Brown said: “They’ve been quick all weekend, so they’ve got some great development on the car.

Despite their potential to win the race in Miami, world champion Norris has warned against drawing too many conclusions that McLaren are on equal footing with Mercedes, with the belief the Silver Arrows will also be strong at the next round in Montreal.

Speaking after the race, Norris said: “They were still very fast, and we’re going to go to a track [in Canada] that Mercedes have probably been the best at over the last five, six years. So, we have to wait and see. I know we’re bringing upgrades, but in Formula 1 it’s too easy to judge things over one race.

“You need to see how you are over a number of races and different styles of track: street circuits, hot tracks, cold tracks, tight and twisty, fast circuits. So, there’s no point getting ahead of ourselves. We’ve had a very good weekend, I’m very proud of the team, but I also want to make sure they keep pushing and keep trying to improve things, because we still need that," Norris concluded.
