F1 2025 - Round 9 - Spain - Barcelona 🇪🇸

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

If it did affect the Car would it be just to speed or could tyre deg also be affected?

Stella doesnt seem to think the change will impact the performance.

Dunne is carrying (a deserved sadly) 10 place grid penalty for the feature race, so if he qualifies middle of the pack he might make up some ground in the sprint.

And he hit into Martins again but in the pitlane this time

He has a 13 place penalty for the sprint race and a 3 place penalty for the feature race. Up to 8 points on his license now, too

That's my understanding, yeah

That’s some speed from the McLarens,faster than yesterday and a second faster than Verstappen.

Piastri and Norris will be hard to catch tomorrow.

And he finished P2. Got lucky with a couple of retirements and then the safety car letting him pit onto softs. But still needed to be in the right place at right time.

Back up to P1 in the championship now.

@RoryMac I'm actually sitting at the final corner where they go into pits. They're all flying in from my angle, it looks like Martins wanted to get revenge so slowed to a near stop before the limiter

Good afternoon all.

sainz would’ve hoped for a better time.

yuki out in Q1.

Utterly, utterly pointless. Churning through talent like nobody's business and spitting them out again when they all can't perform in what is clearly a sh*t car.

Awful, shameful team.
