Formula 1 heads to Spain this weekend as the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya hosts the concluding leg of the European triple-header, marking Round 9 of an already gripping season.
Lando Norris arrives with momentum on his side following a sensational triumph in Monaco, a win that brought him within striking distance, just three points, of his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri at the summit of the Drivers' Championship.
With Piastri rounding off the podium in the Principality, McLaren further tightened their grip on the Constructors' standings, widening the gap to their rivals.
Adding intrigue to the Spanish Grand Prix is a fresh wave of technical regulations. Just a week after the FIA implemented a compulsory two-stop rule in Monaco, another major tweak takes effect in Barcelona, this time targeting flexi-wings.
The sport's governing body has introduced new standards for front wing flexibility, tightening the allowance for deflection in static load tests from 15mm to 10mm.
It's part of the FIA's ongoing effort to clamp down on aerodynamic components that bend under pressure to gain a performance edge, and it could shake up the established pecking order as teams scramble to adapt.
The 2025 Spanish Grand Prix race is finally here and for all your time, TV and streaming details, look no further than The Sporting News for a full guide.
