Jos Verstappen is pleased to see the new front wing technical directive introduced in Barcelona this weekend.
Jos Verstappen, Max’s father, has expressed his support for the new front wing technical directive being implemented at the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix, labeling it as “an ideal scenario.” The directive will crack down on flexible front wings, aiming to reduce their legal movement significantly during the race weekend in Barcelona. There is anticipation that this change could lead to a closing of the field in certain areas and potentially impact the current pecking order in Formula 1. Despite past allegations against McLaren for using flexible front wings, the team has always cleared all FIA inspections and maintains a composed stance ahead of the rule changes. Jos Verstappen advocates for fairness in the F1 paddock, hoping to see teams that have benefited from flexible front wings lose their advantage. In his words to De Telegraaf, Jos emphasized the importance of creating a level playing field in Formula 1 to ensure an exciting season for fans, highlighting the need to prevent any team from monopolizing victories and making the championship predictable.
