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 hea♊ding into thi𝔍s weekend’s race at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is the FIA’s more stringent tests on the front wing.

Ahead of the 2025 F1 season, the𓃲 sport’s governing 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 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Since then, measures 🥀have been taken to monitor aeroelasticity.

A number of drivers have downplayed claims that the change will have a bi♋g impact on the pecking order in Spain.

Piastri also feels that McLaren making a small change to their front wing will only haveꦜ a small i✨mpact.

“We know what’s different. I think everyone will have to c♏hange 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 ma꧂in strength♓.”

F1 title race hots up at McLaren

Following 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris’ win in Monaco, 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 Monte Carlo with a spectacular qualifying lap, setting him up for his first win in the principality.

The Australian anticip🌜ates it will be tight w﷽ith his teammate once again this weekend.

“I hopꦗe🔴 so. It’s always 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 they'🐓ve n✤ot necessarily been the weekends where 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 analyzed 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.”
