Formula 1's current triple-header concludes with the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

The 2025 drivers' championship remains wide open heading into this weekend's race, with Oscar Piastri only separated by three points from Lando Norris in the standings.

Max Verstappen remains in the hunt for the title in third and just 25 points behind Piastri, as the Spanish GP weekend could represent a turning point in the championship.

The FIA will introduce stricter measures on flexible front wings - long thought to by why McLaren have such an advantage - with teams bringing upgrades to tackle the new technical directive.

Will McLaren be able to hold onto their lead in Barcelona? Or will Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes all benefit from the rule change.

Before the order can be decided however, there will be three practice sessions across Friday and Saturday where the teams can acclimatise to their new updates.
