Flexing the Limits: Wings, Rules & What to Expect From The Spanish GP!
🎙️ On this week’s 2 Soft Compounds, Rick is joined by GrandPrix247 editor Jad Malek as they gear up for the Spanish Grand Prix and the spotlight shifts from street circuit glamour to raw technical grit.
🔧 The guys run through the FIA’s new directive banning flexible front wings - effective from June 1st - which could significantly impact the pecking order. Do McLaren now face the real test?
🏎️ The pair also dig into Max Verstappen and Red Bull, Ferrari’s ongoing radio drama with Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso returning to his home crowd, ground as well as Isaac Hadjars rising start status, Williams’ quiet consistency, and the implications of Barcelona potentially falling off the racing calendar.
