The last race from the head of the Formula 1 trilogy, where the network is heading to Barcelona de Catalonia for the Great Spanish race.
There is no shortage of stories.
From Lando Norris’s victory in the Grand Prix in Monaco, to his hometown champion champion his first points for this season, here are the main stories of the Spanish Grand Prix for 2025.
Lando Norris Kamu returns to the championship
The second place in Lando Norris ranked second in the Emilia Romania’s Grand Race in 13 points from his teammate Oscar Baysri in the drivers championship race.
But his victory in Monaco, crowned, called him.excellent“The weekend, the latest chapter in the wonderful drivers championship race.
The three successive PiaSSTri victories-which extend from the Grand Prize race in Bahrain across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and MacLienarian driver topped from 16 points in the drivers championship race. But Max Verstapen’s victory in IMola (along with Norris’ P2) pulled this pair closer to Piaastri at the top of the table.
With Norris finished at the top of the platform in Monaco and PiaSSTRI in third place, the gap between the teammates is only three points as the network is heading to Barcelona.
Currently, PiaSSTRI leads the road with 161 points, followed by Norris in 158 and Verstapen in third place with 136. But what may be more prominent for Nores is the shape he showed in Monaco and the belief that will continue in the rest of the season.
“I have been working hard in the past few months to return to this momentum that I had in Australia, that confidence,” Norris started after the Great Monaco race. “What I felt this weekend was a small step forward, but it is not. He – she. It is not as if you were a dormant now and everything is back.
“There are still things that I need to work on, there are still things – as one team – they give me equipment – and I do not only mean making a car faster, because the car is fast enough – but gave me the things I need from the car in order to excel and increase the results, and differences from last year to this year,” Norris continued. So, I am still things on both sides, but I am very proud yesterday. I am happier than yesterday’s result than today. I mean, today is incredible, but I was more emotional yesterday more than I was today. This is the amount he meant yesterday, to return to a kind of restoration of qualification, because it was only about my full life. It was always good until the year.
As for the reason for Norris needed to “try to get” this qualifiers, he pointed out that the competition against the best in the world means that he needs to be the “highest level” possible.
Norris added: “There is no other reason regardless of some of the things that I fought clearly and also I just practice difficult competition. After Oscar, Charles, Max, I am against the best players in the world. If you do not lead to the highest level, you will not compete against them.” “So, yes, no one knows the amount of work and effort that turns to things regardless of me and my team. This is the only people who need to know what is going on in everything and know the truth of everything. This is the way you will remain.”
The first two races of this trigger, then Norris, issued their responses in the form of strong PiaSSTRI.
We will see how the last chapter is revealed in this trilogy.
The latest chapter in the flexible epic
Is this the week everything changes?
McLaren’s competitors will love to think about it.
In recent weeks, the technical debate focused on McLaren’s ability to maintain their tires in an ideal operating window, while their competitors often deal with high tire temperature and deterioration. This was definitely a focus in the watches that followed the Great Miami, as Oscar Pastari and Norris closed the front row. While competitors like Christian Horner and Toto Wolf McLaren and their engineers to develop MCL39, praised. Other media reported These bulls in particular were long -length lengths – including the use of thermal imaging – to try to reveal what McLaren is doing to keep their back tires in a better operating window.
To clarify this, PiaSSTRI No. 81 nor norris did not fail in any technology inspections this season, Post -race From Piasstri Mcl39 after his victory in Miami, he found it.[a]LL is found to be searched to comply with Formula One 2025.
However, this is not the only technical issue on the list, and one of the largest comes in a clearer focus this week.
The 2025 F1 season started with the continued debate on the “Flexi-Ling” case, which was a hot topic for discussion as the 2024 season wrote its final seasons. The case? The front and rear wings that pass the technical inspections during a fixed test, but “will be fold” under the dynamic aerobic load, creating what some call the “small DRS” effect.
While the ruling body of sports, FIA, indicated that all the teams were compatible with technical regulations, following the Grand Prix in Singapore McLaren, the back wings were modified on their cars.
Before this season, FIA presented a new test of the back wings, which started in the Australian Grand Prix. However, in the Spanish Grand Prize race this week An additional test will be taken On the front wings, which McLaren’s competitors believe can be “Gamechanger” for this season.
“It is possible that the largest is Spain because we have a clear change in organizing with the full new front wing. This may change slightly from the championship image. Let’s wait for this,” said Friedrich Vasuor Frederick Vasuor before the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
“It can be a reset on the direct image, but not in the championship. The man who will lead the championship in Spain will continue to lead the championship after Spain, but in terms of pure performance, it may be Gamechanger.”
Expect the “Flexi-Wing” discussion is a huge discussion point this week.
