Max Verstappen believes the new restrictions on front wing flexing will not affect the performance of his Red Bull Racing team and doubts the impact it will have on his Formula 1 rivals. The FIA’s stricter tests on wing flexing come after similar measures on rear wing flexing earlier in the season. Many teams and observers are eager to see how these changes will affect the competitive order at the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona this weekend. Verstappen, McLaren’s main competitor, remains skeptical about the significance of the changes, stating that he is confident they will not greatly impact his team’s performance. Despite recent successes, such as defeating McLaren in Imola, Verstappen acknowledges the challenges that lie ahead on different types of tracks, particularly street circuits where Red Bull has historically struggled. He believes the team’s strengths lie in high-speed corners and aims to improve performance in medium to low-speed sections of the circuit.
