Verstappen blasts FIA over ‘unfair’ Spanish Grand Prix ban
Max Verstappen’s father, Jos Verstappen, criticized a recent FIA rule change as unfair before the Spanish Grand Prix, questioning why it wasn’t implemented earlier. Verstappen’s team, behind McLaren in the constructors’ championship by 176 points, is impressed by McLaren’s pace in 2025.
Verstappen, 25 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri, remains competitive in the drivers’ championship, having won two races in the season so far. His father Jos highlighted the impact of the FIA rule change, targeting McLaren’s front wing flexibility, aiming for a more level playing field.
The new FIA rule has raised questions about its impact on the 2025 championship, with Ferrari’s Fred Vasseur believing it could change the dynamics of individual race weekends. Verstappen’s Red Bull team may benefit from the rule change as Max challenges for his fifth world championship title, with McLaren potentially facing increased competition in the upcoming races.
