Williams is set to run its version of McLaren's F-Duct system for the first time at the Chinese Grand Prix. Only the Sauber team has joined McLaren in introducing such a system.

The concept allows drivers to stall the rear wings on the straights by covering a hole in ducting running through the cockpit.

When questioned by the Autosport magazine Williams Technical Director Sam Michael said: "We should have it in Shanghai. We will start running it in practice, but it might take us a few weekends to sort it out before we race with it. If you can get some speed advantage that McLaren has got, you'd probably run maximum wing all the time so you'd end up with a lot more downforce."
