After coming fourth at the Monaco Grand Prix, Mac Verstappen is now focused on the Spanish Grand Prix. The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya could be where it all changes due to the new flexi-wing regulations and the updates to the RB21.

Monaco was a struggle for Red Bull as the circuit does not particularly suit the RB21, but the Spanish Grand Prix could be the turning point, as Verstappen has confirmed Red Bull Racing will be bringing upgrades.

Speaking to GPBlog and others, Verstappen was able to confirm that Red Bull was bringing something to Barcelona.

Responding to a question from GPBlog about whether or not Red Bull would be able to show more in Barcelona, he said, "Hopefully a bit better. Less low-speed corners, more high-speed, hopefully that will suit the car a bit better."

"I hope we're not seven tenths behind in Barcelona. That would not be good."

Verstappen's first win was at the Spanish Grand Prix in 2016. Given McLaren's strength, they could continue their dominance; however, the new regulations regarding flexiwings will go into effect in Barcelona.
