Oscar Piastri has once again dismissed fears McLaren’s season will be curtailed by the FIA’s flexi-wing clampdown at this weekend’s F1 Spanish Grand Prix, describing the change as “✱overhyped”.

The big talking point heading into this weekend’s race at the Circuit🌌 de Barcelona-Catalunya is the FIA’s more stringent tests on the front wing.

Ahead of th♈e 2025 F1 season, the sport’s gover🐓ning body announced that stricter tests would be introduced for the Spanish GP amid concerns over how much front and rear wings were flexing.

McLaren’s rear wing caught the attention of the F1 paddock following Piastri’s win at the Azer🍌baijan Grand Prix.

Since then, measures have been t♉ak🐓en to monitor aeroelasticity.

A number of drivers have downplayed claims that the change w💎ill have a big impact on the pecking order in Spain.

Piastri also feels that McLaren making a sm✨all change to their fr☂ont wing will only have a small impact.

“⭕We know what’s different. I think everyone will have to change to an extent. I⭕’ve not run the front wing but Lando has already run the front wing before this year. We’re confident that’s not our magic bullet.

“We don’ꦿt have a magic bullet. That’s not our main strength.”

F1 title race hots up at McLaren

Following 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris’ win in Moꩲnaco, there are now just three points 💦between the McLaren drivers ahead of Sunday’s race.

Piastri has won four of the opening eight races, but Norris hit back in Mont🌠e Carlo with a spectacular qualifying lap, setting him up for his first win in the principality.

The Australian anticipates it wil🀅l be tight with his teamౠmate once again this weekend.

“I hope so. It’s alway♔s been tight everywhere we’ve gone,” he added.

“There’s been weekends where I’ve been a bit quicker. There’s been weekends where Lando’s been a bit quicker but t💫hey've not necessarily been the weekends ꦑwhere we’ve beaten each other.

“There’s there’s more to it than just being fast, so, I think it’s gonna be,🐽 you know, it’s gonna ebb and flow a bit through the whole year, but I mean I’m I’m confident I think we’ve a𝓰nalyzed what went a little bit wrong in Monaco, I mean it still wasn’t a terrible weekend but just not as good as some of the weekends have been this year for me, so, we’ve looked at what we can do a bit better and we’ll try and put that in action.”
