Max Verstappen returns to the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend, aiming for his fourth consecutive win and hoping a new front wing flexibility rule will boost Red Bull against McLaren’s dominance.
The four-time champion, 25 points behind leader Oscar Piastri, could benefit if the stricter tests impact McLaren’s aerodynamic advantage.
Red Bull boss Christian Horner and Mercedes’ Toto Wolff both acknowledge the rule change could be a “game-changer,” though its full effect remains unknown.
McLaren has dominated the season, but the diverse Spanish track could present a challenge.
Ferrari, too, seeks consistency, with Lewis Hamilton still pursuing his first win for the team.
Spanish drivers Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz will also compete, highlighting the sport’s continued popularity in Spain.
