The rear wing of McLaren's F1 car has been a hot topic of conversation following the team's victory at Baku last weekend.

"RacingNews365 can confirm that the rear wing has not been deemed illegal by the sport's governing body - however the team must implement adjustments to control how much the element moves."

I'm surprised FIA pushed McLaren to change their rear wing. I would assume FIA would take the same stance they took vis-a-vis McLaren's front wing. Still, I think this will make the MCL38 slower on the straights without DRS, and that's about it.

Isnโ€™t this only affecting their very low downforce rear wing spec?

"It's not illegal but please change it" means "it is illegal but we don't want to invalidate previous race results so please change it now and we're good".
