Oscar Piastri: The secret is that we don't have a secret.
The main topic of conversation before the Barcelona race will be stricter FIA tests on the flexibility of the front wing, but World Championship leader Oscar Piastri believes that this will not affect the McLaren's speed.
Oscar Piastri: "The problem is that the consequences of such control measures are often exaggerated. Of course, we know what will change. Something will change for everyone to one degree or another. I haven't tried out the new front wing yet, but Lando has already used it this year, and everything went fine. The secret of our success is not in this, but in the fact that we have no secret.
I'm sure Lando and I will have another intense fight this weekend. I hope so. Everywhere we performed, the difference between us was minimal. I was a little faster on some weekends, and he was a little faster on others.
There's more to it than just being fast. Similar fluctuations will occur throughout the season, but I am confident in myself, in my abilities. We figured out what went a little wrong in Monaco. It wasn't a terrible weekend, just not as good as some of the others I've had this year. We have looked at what can be done better, and we will try to put this experience into practice."
