McLaren EXPOSED? FIA’s New Rules Could Destroy the MCL39! | f1 news

The FIA has struck again—with a new technical directive introduced at Imola. And shockingly, it appears McLaren may have been hit harder than anyone expected.

Even though Max Verstappen enjoyed a clean run at the front for most of the race, the MCL39 looked nothing like its dominant self. Gone was the 30-second cushion we had grown used to. Instead, McLaren looked... vulnerable.

But why? What exactly did the FIA do that sent such shockwaves through Woking’s garage? And more importantly—is this just the beginning of a crackdown targeting McLaren's alleged gray-area innovations?

After the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, one thing was clear: something was off. The MCL39 simply didn’t perform to expectations. At one point, Piastri was dangerously close to losing fourth place to Albon. And if there had been just a few more laps? Hamilton would’ve been all over the back of the Aussie.

Now I know what you're thinking: “Piastri was on older tires—that's expected.” And you’d be right. But the drop in pace wasn’t just about tires. No—this might be connected to the FIA’s latest technical directives—rules that could be reshaping the pecking order in ways we hadn’t imagined.
