imgur.comThey gave the win back to him later in the season right? Why? For what reason?
Mclaren broke the rules.

As I recall they measured the width when the tires were still hot and had expanded. The cad was within limits when it was cool. But I could be wrong...

What does that have to do with the rear wing? Sorry if I come off as a dick, im actually curious.

I thought that the car was disqualified on the basis that the overall width was too wide not the rear wing, in which case that's why the measurements during different temperatures would affect this. I may be wrong and it actually was the rear wing though

In the documentary that i got these images from it said that his wing was too wide, but on wikipedia it says, that his car was too wide, so I'm not sure which it is.

I'm quite sure it was the width of the car from wheel to wheel. And yes, he later got the win back.

Thank you for bringing this film to my attention!

OP is mistaken, it was not rear wing that was too wide, it was the car itself.

This one should go on Maldonado's car, because you just know it's going to happen.

James should have a "CAUTION: LONG CAR" written on his boxer briefs.
Especially because what "car" means in Albania.

They should put that on Maldonaldo's car
.... or in reverse on the front of the McLarens
Mclarens keep their distance regardless
from the article
