The long-coming FIA rule change being enforced from the Spanish Grand Prix could hit the leading teams in F1 – but who?
As the F1 season progresses to the Spanish Grand Prix, a new FIA regulation reducing front wing flexibility from 15mm to 10mm is set to come into effect.
This rule change was planned before the season began, with rear wing adjustments applied at the start in Australia and ongoing refinements in subsequent races.
F1 teams were given an eight-round grace period to adapt, avoiding wasted winter developments and allowing for necessary adjustments.
Speculation has grown ahead of the new regulation at the upcoming race in Barcelona.
McLaren, a leading team, is being closely watched, especially after recent FIA technical directives on tyre and brake cooling measures.
There is anticipation that McLaren’s advantage may be impacted, with Ferrari suggesting the rule change could be a “game changer.”
The true impact on the competitive order in F1 and pace remains uncertain, creating intrigue heading into the weekend to see which teams may be affected.
