The 2025 Formula 1 season reaches its ninth round with the Spanish GP at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
McLaren’s Oscar Piastri leads the Driver’s Championship by a mere three points over teammate Lando Norris, with Max Verstappen trailing by 22 points.
The competition intensifies as teams and drivers aim to solidify their positions before the mid-season break.
Effective from the Spanish Grand Prix, the FIA has implemented stricter tests on front-wing flexibility to address concerns over “flexi-wings” that provide aerodynamic benefits at high speeds.
Regulations now mandate that DRS must operate strictly in two positions—open and closed— eliminating intermediate states that could provide unintended advantages.

2025 Spanish GP Circuit Details
The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is renowned for its technical complexity, featuring a mix of High-speed straights and diverse corners that test both drive skill and car performance. The track’s 4.657 km layout includes the demanding Turn 3 and the fast Turn 9, challenging aerodynamic efficiency and tire management.
Pirelli has selected its hardest tire Compounds—C1, C2, and C3—to cope with the circuit’s abrasive surface and high lateral loads.
The track layout demands a well-balanced car setup, with emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency and tire preservation. The recent rule change mandating stiffer front wings aims to reduce aerodynamic flex and could impact team performances differently. Teams like Ferrari and Red Bull have expressed interest in how this regulation might level the playing field, while McLaren remains cautiously optimistic about maintaining their competitive edge.
The weather forecast for the Spanish Grand Prix weekend is favorable, with warm and sunny conditions expected throughout the race and practice sessions.
