McLaren has dismissed concerns over Formula 1's tighter wing flexibility tests, insisting the new measures will have minimal impact on the team's preparations for 2025.
McLaren found itself at the centre of the wing flexibility debate last season, prompting the FIA to issue a revised technical directive last month aimed at closing potential loopholes.
Following the recent F1 Commission meeting in London, the FIA confirmed that "new, more stringent" tests will be applied to rear wings from the season opener in Melbourne, with tougher front wing deflection tests then arriving from Barcelona onwards.
However, McLaren team principal Andrea Stella remains unconcerned about the changes.
"No headache at all," Stella said when asked about the impact of the FIA's crackdown.
"We don't have to make many adjustments at all for the start of the season. There will be a small adjustment required from race nine.
"I know it's become a big talking point, but in terms of what makes us busy and what gives us headaches, actually there are completely different topics that are much more important."
Beyond the wing flexibility rules, the F1 Commission also voted to remove limitations on the number of gearboxes allowed for the 2025 season and discussed Monaco-specific regulations aimed at improving racing at the Principality.
"The Commission agreed to increase the number of mandatory pitstops in the race," the FIA's statement explained.
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc welcomed the move, hoping it would improve the spectacle of the race.
"I think it will definitely help," he said. "Saturday in Monaco is interesting, but Sunday is a bit lacking in intensity. Hopefully this decision will add to that."
Fernando Alonso, however, noted that opinions on the new rule would likely depend on a driver's race position.
"It depends where you start. If you start last, you will want 10-12 mandatory pit stops," he laughed. "But I like it. It's a good option."
