McLaren supports the push to make F1 cars easier to overtake next year. In Barcelona, it emerged that Red Bull's Christian Horner is furious about the changes to the front wing that have been pushed through for 2019.
But McLaren executive Zak Brown said: "Different opinions have been expressed, but we are ready to support any measures that make the fight closer on the track."

Brown is more concerned about the current McLaren, which features a radical nose in Barcelona: It looks good -- I hope it's just as fast. The principle is right, but we're still learning about it. We hope it means a big step in performance.
Fernando Alonso spoke in praise of the new updates, stating that they are a step forward: "Seen from the inside, the upgrades we brought here are a step forward. There is more performance in the car – it felt better and there was more grip. Conditions were tricky today with the hot temperatures and especially the wind; we saw a lot of people going off track and I think it’s going to be the same tomorrow.
"We’ll have a clear reference tomorrow about how much we have really improved compared to everyone else. It’s going to be cooler and there’s even a threat of rain forecast for Sunday. We possibly have a chance to make it into Q3 tomorrow, so let’s try and maximise that."
