BARCELONA, SPAIN Getty Images Formula 1 heads to Barcelona for the final leg of the European triple header from May 30 to June 1. Last weekend, under the glinting Riviera sun, McLaren delivered a masterclass in Monaco. Lando Norris stormed to his second win of the season, while Oscar Piastri clinched P3, enough to keep him at the top of the drivers’ standings. It marked McLaren’s sixth victory of the eight races so far this season. Reigning champion, Max Verstappen, wrestled with an RB21 that looked difficult in the low-speed corners, ultimately finishing outside the podium. Still, he’s lurking just 25 points behind Piastri in the standings. For Mercedes, it was a weekend to forget. Kimi Antonelli crashed out in the first part of qualifying, while George Russell’s car lost power in Q2. Strategy didn’t offer any lifelines either with a sluggish call on the two-stop left both drivers stuck in traffic and out of points contention. The Flexi-Wing Returns One of Formula 1’s most contentious grey areas is back under the microscope in Barcelona — the flexi-wing. It’s a technical loophole that’s long danced on the edge of legality, but this time, it could trigger a proper reshuffle in the pecking order. The flexible front wing, has become a focal point once again, especially as McLaren’s form has surged in recent months. In Spain, new FIA rules will come into effect which tighten how flexible a wing can be.
