Lando Norris says McLaren do not need to make any changes to their pace-setting car to comply with the new FIA clampdown on flexi-wings from this weekend's Chinese Grand Prix.

F1's governing body has imposed an immediate reduction in the tolerance allowance teams' rear wings are allowed to flex out on track from the second round of the season in Shanghai after concluding from analysis at last weekend's Australian GP that there were "sufficient grounds" for a beefed-up test to be introduced.

McLaren agreed to make changes to its rear-wing design last year after September's Azerbaijan GP after discussions with the governing body but, in wake of the latest clampdown, Norris says they are not the team under the FIA spotlight.
