Hamilton says new front wing rule 'waste of money'published at 13:27 British Summer Time 1 June

Lewis Hamilton says the introduction of a new rule clamping down on front wing flexibility at the Spanish Grand Prix was "a waste of money".
Governing body the FIA imposed a stiffer load test on front wings to try to limit the amount teams could exploit their movement on track for aerodynamic advantage.
But Hamilton said: "Just wasted everyone's money. It's literally changed nothing.
"Everyone's wings still bend, it's just half the bending, and everyone's had to make new wings and spend more money to make these. It just doesn't make sense."
The Ferrari driver added that he "wasn't expecting" anything of the change before coming to Spain.
"I drove it on the simulator, and it's pretty much exactly the same," Hamilton said. "A little bit more oversteer in the high speed. Could have given it all to charity, you know?"
A new front wing in F1 costs about £100,000, in addition to research and development resources.
The FIA delayed the introduction of the rule until this race, the ninth of the season, because it expected that the vast majority of teams would be introducing new front wings in Spain anyway as part of their normal development programmes.
A spokesperson for the FIA declined to comment specifically on Hamilton's remarks.

Oscar Piastri, who starts on pole, talking to Sky Sports: "It'll be a challenge, it is a long run to Turn One here, it takes about thirty seconds to get to Turn One. It is going to be a challenging first corner for sure, but I think pace has been good all weekend. I expect us to have strong pace today so hopefully we can have a good race regardless."
'Soft tyre is a very good race tyre' - Russellpublished at 13:18 British Summer Time 1 June

Mercedes' George Russell will start in P4, he spoke to Sky Sports on race strategy: "I think it's very close between all three tyres, the soft is a very good race tyre.
"Charles [Leclerc] has got the two mediums so he's definitely going to be doing two stints on the medium and then he will probably have a choice of one stint on the soft or on the hard.
"It's all very close and it depends on the cloud cover, we saw in Q3 yesterday it really clouded over very quickly, if that could happen that would be beneficial."
Tsunoda's strugglespublished at 13:15 British Summer Time 1 June

Yuki Tsunoda had a qualifying to forget yesterday as he finished last.
It is proving tough to be the team-mate to the world champion as Tsunoda replaced Liam Lawson earlier in the season after some disappointing performances and Tsunoda hasn't fared much better.
He has scored just seven points in six rounds, with Max Verstappen claiming two victories and two further podium finishes during that time.
Tsunoda will start from the pit lane today after Red Bull made some setup changes to his Red Bull.
Stroll 'lost temper' after Q2 exitpublished at 13:11 British Summer Time 1 June

There is only one Aston Martin in the Spanish Grand Prix after Lance Stroll withdrew because he was, the team said, “experiencing pain in his hand and wrist, which his medical consultant believes is in relation to the procedure he underwent in 2023”, when Stroll broke both wrists in a bike accident.
It has emerged on Sunday morning that Stroll lost his temper in the garage after being knocked out at the end of Q2, in which he lapped 0.535 seconds slower than team-mate Fernando Alonso. Word was going around the paddock that Stroll had broken things in the garage and sworn at team members. Asked about this, a team spokesperson said: “Lance was upset.”
The spokesperson said that the loss of temper and the injury were unrelated.
Stroll then failed to go to be weighed as required by regulations, for which he has been given a warning by governing body the FIA.
Stroll is to have a “procedure to rectify these issues before focusing on his recovery”, so his participation in the Canadian Grand Prix in two weeks’ time is in doubt.

There'll be just 19 drivers lining up on the grid today because Lance Stroll has had to withdraw.
The Aston Martin driver is set to undergo a medical procedure after experiencing pain in his hand and wrist.
“Over the course of the past six weeks Lance has been experiencing pain in his hand and wrist, which his medical consultant believes is in relation to the procedure he underwent in 2023," Aston Martin said.
“As a result his medical team have confirmed that he will not race and he will undergo a procedure to rectify these issues before focusing on his recovery.”
Stroll had a cycling accident in 2023 pre-season which resulted in fractures and a broken toe.
With Stroll having taken part in qualifying, Aston Martin cannot bring in reserve driver Felipe Drugovich in his place.

Hello!
Welcome to our coverage of the Spanish Grand Prix.
It is a McLaren front-row lockout today as Oscar Piastri starts on pole looking to secure his fifth win of the season and extend his lead at the top of the drivers' championship.
But alongside him is team-mate Lando Norris, who perhaps could have taken pole himself but for appearing to push too much in the final stages of yesterday's qualifying.
Lurking just behind is Max Verstappen, who hasn't quite put up the fight some might have anticipated this weekend, but maybe that will change today.
Title battle intensifying?published at 13:01 British Summer Time 1 June
It was an all-McLaren battle for pole position yesterday with Oscar Piastri beating Lando Norris to it.
Both are looking in a different league to the rest of the field and, with just three points separating the pair in the drivers' championship, there could be an interesting battle between the two team-mates at today's Spanish Grand Prix.
