It'll be interesting to see if the new flexi wing rules impact McLaren. I'm not expecting much to change.

 

[Franco Pinion]

New technical directive kicks in this weekend.

Interesting to see if the less "flexy" front wing will slow down the McLaren at all.

Spain is a circuit that should suit the Red Bull, too.

Oscar Piastri delivered a final-lap performance to snatch pole position for the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix, edging out team-mate Lando Norris in a dramatic McLaren one-two.

Verstappen and Russell set identical lap times (1:11.755), but the Red Bull driver starts P3 after setting his lap earlier.

Carlos Sainz was eliminated in Q1 (P18), while Yuki Tsunoda brought up the rear in P20 after a disappointing session for Red Bull.

[Son Of Jack]

Great start from Piastri. Verstappen takes Norris and both Ferraris are past George 2

 

[Franco Pinion]

Daft strategy from Ferrari, they should let Leclerc through instead of them racing each other

 

[Franco Pinion]

All on different strategies, but I don't think Max is that far ahead considering how early he pitted. McLaren is just too good on the tyres, they didn't even lose that much time.

 

[Son Of Jack]

That's madness by Liam Lawson, could have been a big crash. Bear an did well to control his car.

 

[Son Of Jack]

Oh safety car surely hasn't worked out for Max. He is going be under serious threat surely on hards.

 

[Franco Pinion]

That should be a race suspension for Max. You can't deliberately drive into another car under any circumstances.

 

[Strawberry Man]

That was ridiculous from Verstappen, only seen the one replay but it looked like he just opened his steering into him.
