May 17 (GMM) McLaren and Williams could be the first of several teams to follow Ferrari's lead in fitting so-called 'flexi' rear wings in 2006.
After finishing a minute behind the leaders at Barcelona, and lagging behind Ferrari in the speed traps, it is now suggested that engineers at Woking based McLaren are intending to possibly debut the dubious design at soon as Monaco.
The FIA's lack of action in banning the Ferrari wing means that others now feel more comfortable in exploring the alternate interpretation of the rules.
It is understood that Williams may also be heading down the 'flexi' route, after struggling even more markedly for top speed at Circuit de Catalunya.
''We have got to improve in all areas,'' McLaren's Martin Whitmarsh has now admitted.
And, hinting at how McLaren would handle Ferrari's ongoing use of the flexible innovation, he added that the silver team has 'waited' to see how the FIA handled the issue.
