Red Bull team principal Christian Horner believes the flexi-wing clampdown for the Spanish Grand Prix could be a “game-changer” in the F1 title race.

One point separates 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen at the top of the F1 drivers’ championship.

Verstappen delivered a masterclass ♕to win the la𝔉st race at Suzuka from pole position.

It means Verstappen, Norris and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri have one rac🅺e win each heading into th𒆙is weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix.

It’s widely accepted that McLaren has the f🃏astest car in F1, even if it has been difficult for both drivers to tꦇame on occasion.

For the Spanish GP in June, the FIA will introduce st🔜ricter tests to combat flexible front wings.

Red Bull e🌜xpect that the new ruling will potentially impact McLaren’s competitiveness, opening the door for Verstappen in the title race.

Befor♍e that, there are still five races, meaning Verstappen will have to stay in touching ☂distance to capitalise.

Speaking to Channel 4 after the race on Sunday, Horner said:  “Well look, I mean, in the first three 💃races, we’ve [finished] 0.8 of a second behiꦉnd Lando – We were fourth in China and won this race.

“So we’re one point behind in the driver’s championship. Don’t underestimate the regulation change of race nine, you 🔜know, with these front wings. That could be a game-changer. The first four are super tight, and as you well know, there’s no💝 better tonic than a win.”

Horner: Verstappen is “very committed”

Amid Red Bull’sꦅ downturn in form, Verstappen’s F1 future continues to dominate the headlines.

With both Mercedes driver💯s out of contr𝕴act at the end of 2025, Verstappen could be an option for them.

Mercedes b꧙oss Toto Wolff expressed serious interest in Verstappen last year before🉐 deciding on Kimi Antonelli.

Aston Martin, who Honda will power from ne🍷xt year, have an interest in Verstappen.

However, Horner is confident Verstappen is “very committed”🌜 to Red Bull and that interest in his driver is to be expected.

“I think Max has m🦂ade his position very c🐻lear on that before the weekend,” Horner added.

“🗹He’s very committed to the team, the environment he’s in. He’✱s working harder than I’ve ever seen behind the scenes with his engineering staff.

“Max is, of course, thꩲe most demand driver in the paddock. But I think he’s content where he i꧅s, we know we need to continue improving – and I don’t see him anywhere else.”
