Red Bull team principal Christian Horner believes the flexi-wing clampdown for the Spanish Grand Prix could be a “game-changer” in the F1 title race.

One point separates 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen at the top of the F1 drivers’ championship.

Verstappen delivered a masterclass to win the last race at S𝓀uzuka from pole position.

It means Verstappen, Norris and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri have one race win each heading into this weekend’s Bꦕahrain Grand Prix.

It’s widely accepted that McLaren has the fastest car in F1, even if it has been difficult for both drivꦯ🧸ers to tame on occasion.

For the Spওanish GP in June, the FIA will introduce stricter tests to com🔯bat flexible front wings.

Red Bull expect that the new ru🦋ling will potentially𓆉 impact McLaren’s competitiveness, opening the door for Verstappen in the title race.

Before that, there are still five races, meaning Verstappen will hav💛e to stay in touching distance to capitalise.

Speaking to Channel 4 after the race on Sunday, Horner said:  “Well look, I mean, in the first threeꦑ races, we’ve [finished] 0.8 of a second behind Lando – We were fourth in China and won this race.

“So we’re one point behind in the driver’s championship. Don’t underestimate the regulation change of race nine, you know, with these front wings. That could be a ꧒game-changer. The first four are super tight, and as you well know, there’s no better tonic than a win.”

Horner: Verstappen is “very committed”

Amid R𝔍ed Bull’s downtur✤n in form, Verstappen’s F1 future continues to dominate the headlines.

With both Mercedes drivers out of contract at the end of 2025, Verstappen could be an option foღr them.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff expressed serious interest in Verstappen last year bef🍷ore deciding on Kimi Antonelli.

Aston Martin, who Hond💧a will power from next year, have an interest in Verstappen.

However, Horner is confident Verstappen is “very comm🍒itted” to Red Bull and that interest in his driver is to be expected.

“I think Max has made his position very clear on that ♑before the we♐ekend,” Horner added.

“He’s very committed to the team, the environment he’s in. He’s working harde🌠r than I’ve ever seen behind the scenes with his engineering staff.

“Max is, o♛f course, the most demand driver in the paddock. But I think he’s content where he is, we know we need to continue improving – and I don’t see him anywhere else.”
