After the glitz, glamour and controversy of Monaco, the F1 circus moves on to Barcelona this weekend for the Spanish Grand Prix.
It’s the final leg in the second triple-header for 2025, as Oscar Piastri looks to return to the winner’s list and extend his championship lead.
The Melbourne driver finished third in the last two races after winning the previous three, with now holds just a three-point lead over McLaren teammate Lando Norris.
This weekend also marks the introduction of new front wing regulations from the FIA, adding an extra layer of uncertainty around how they may impact the competitive order.
Under the new rules, the maximum allowable front wing deflection during static load tests has been reduced from 15mm to 10mm, as the FIA continues its crackdown flexible wings.
It adds another exciting element to the weekend as we head into the second third of the season.
