The meaning of the poster in my post above was :
For the FIA the season begins at race 9. The Spain GP (Barcelona) June 9 as the FIA wing regulations will change in Spain.
So for the first 8 races McLaren can get a free 0.2 sec./ lap advantage with their flexible wings and win races with the flexible wing advantage .
Why not from race 1 in this 2025 season ?

Of course , the McLaren flexible wing invention is great , but in the first 9 races of the season they can run with it . Score WDC/WCC points and win races with the flexbile wing advantage .
And not only with the rear DRS wing , but the also with the super flexible front wing .
Then suddenly in race 9 (Spain) the chance is big that they need to remove the flexible wings because from then the McLaren flexible wing is no longer according to the FIA regulations .
Why is it in the first 9 races according to the FIA rules and in Spain it will be banned (!)
The other teams can not develop flexible wings in this season because it will be banned in Spain . But in the meantime McLaren gets the advantage from the FIA to win races with the advantage from the flexible wings.
I just don't get it ,the situation looks like a gift to me ..
