Ferrari’s English: “Nothing has changed. Everyone’s wings continue to bend and we have not gained anything about the McLaren”
The introduction of new flexibility limits of the front wing, which entered in force in Barcelona, did not like Lewis Hamilton. The Ferrari pilot called them “a waste of money” after seeing the advantage of McLaren remain intact. It was assumed that a new directive of the FIA would reduce or even cancel the gap of McLaren compared to the others. Instead Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris monopolized the front row, after seemed untouchable for the whole qualification. “What a waste of money – Hamilton laughed after the session – Only wasted money was. Nothing has changed. Everything has continued to bend, you only get to the middle of the flexion and everyone had to build new wings and spend to make them. It does not make sense. It would have been better. It would have been better to donate them to charity”.

Hamilton then returned to the topic: “It is not an insurmountable limit, it could be recovered, but, for example, it took months to work to develop the car and get a tenth of the performance. We have no half second of the arrival margin, this is certain, which is what I need to overcome the McLaren”. Already on the eve, the former world champion had said that he had not noticed improvements compared to rivals: “What I can tell you is that at the simulator I have not noticed particular differences. In general we will have to be good at adapting, a bit like happening when, on the contrary, the teams had started using flexible wings”. On Friday after the free free to Montmelò Lewis had commented on the trend with a gracchied lapidary phrase in a radio team that defining pessimistic is perhaps little to say: “The car is inguidable”.
