‘Changed nothing' – Lewis Hamilton slams F1 rule change as ‘waste of money' and says ‘we should be giving it to charity'
LEWIS HAMILTON slammed the 'waste of money' flexi-wing rule change after qualifying in Barcelona. The seven-time world champion out-qualified teammate Charles Leclerc for only the second time this season to take fifth in Barcelona. 5 Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton blasted the 'pointless' new flexi-wing change as a 'waste of time and money' 5 The FIA introduced a flexi-wing clampdown in Barcelona this week It came after Oscar Piastri pipped McLaren teammate Lando Norris to pole position after a blistering lap. Red Bull's Max Verstappen was third fastest ahead of Mercedes driver George Russell. All the talk in Spain this week has been about the potential impact of the FIA's clampdown on the flexing of front wings. In January the sport's governing body released a technical directive for more stringent flexibility tests on front wings that would be introduced in Barcelona. READ MORE F1 NEWS SPANISH WAR Piastri takes pole for Spanish Grand Prix in huge boost to title hopes The FIA hopes this might close up the pecking order on the grid, particularly those chasing high-flying McLaren. But fuming Hamilton said: 'The balance is definitely not as nice as what we had before. It hasn't made any [difference to the leaders]. 'What a waste of money, it's just wasted everyone's money. It's literally changed nothing. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS 'Everyone's bent wings still bend, it is just half the bending, and everyone's had to make new wings, and spend more money to make these. It doesn't make sense. 'We should be giving it to charity.' One of F1's most recognisable voices reveals Leclerc and Hamilton moments that will live with him forever McLaren bagged their first front row lock out in Barcelona since 1998 with Piastri and Norris looking red hot. When asked if McLaren are untouchable, Hamilton replied: 'Yeah. It's an amazing job they've done. To me it's half a second, but to the guys in front it is three tenths. 'It's not an insurmountable amount that you could catch up, but for example, a lot of work, months, went into developing and getting a tenth of performance. 'We don't have half a second coming, that's for sure, which is what I would need to topple them.' 5 McLaren again outpaced everybody else after the flexi-wing change 5 Oscar Piastri beat his team-mate Lando Norris to pole position in Spain Hamilton is still gunning for a first podium of the season, adding: "My target is to try and get to the podium. I haven't been on the podium for a long time. 'The car is so much different to what I drove previous years. So through the weekend, I'm having to adapt this new driving style, which is horrible.' Piastri has vowed to not let the title scrap between him and Norris get between him, but things could all go pear shaped in sunny Spain. Just three points separate the two McLaren team-mates in the drivers' standings following Norris' win at Monaco last weekend with Piastri still ahead. Norris seems to be feeling the pressure of the title race more though as he produced a scrappy final lap and rued 'too many mistakes' in the final qualifying session. The two McLarens battled to and fro in Q3 with Norris coming out trumps after the first run to take provincial pole before Piastri's moment of magic. There had been drama earlier on as fuming Williams driver Alex Albon slammed 'dirty, dirty' Haas drivers who he felt drove purposely slow as he was knocked out in Q2. Red Bull's No2 driver conundrum continued with Yuki Tsunoda's situation going from bad to worse as he suffered a nightmare last place position in qualifying. It was the third race in a row where he was out-qualified by both drivers from Red Bull's junior team Racing Bulls. Meanwhile Carlos Sainz was left miserable as he was booted out in Q1 for Williams at his home Grand Prix.

RYANAIR has welcomed a recent complaint filed by the European Consumer Organisation BEUC - claiming the airline is "exploiting consumers".

He said: 'They are are exploiting consumers and ignoring the EU's top court, which ruled that charging for reasonably sized hand baggage is illegal. "This was confirmed by recent fines in Spain, which made clear that passengers can bring their reasonably sized hand baggage onboard at no additional cost.' READ MORE IN TRAVEL In response, Ryanair maintained that its baggage policy complies with The airline said that passengers are allowed a 'generous' 40cm x 25cm x 20cm personal bag free of charge as part of the airfare, with the option to add extra bags for an extra fee. They said: 'This policy promotes both low fares and consumer choice. 'If airlines were forced to include additional carry-on bags as part of the basic fare, it would reduce choice and drive-up air fares for all passengers, which would harm consumers". Most read in The Irish Sun Back in 2014, the EU Court of Justice decided that airlines aren't allowed to charge extra for hand luggage, as long as it's reasonably sized, not too heavy and passes Ryanair argues that this confirms that airlines are entitled to charge passengers for carrying extra bags, as long as their essential items, such as a small personal bag is included in the ticket price. How to check in for a Ryanair flight The According to BEUC, its data shows that consumers expect to see a small item and a piece of hand luggage when purchasing basic tickets. They said: 'Consumers expect to see a small item and a piece of hand luggage when buying basic tickets. "Policymakers should also define hand luggage's 'reasonable size and weight' to avoid surprises at the airport and ultimately reduce the number of disputes costing consumers and airlines time and money." SPANISH COURT This complaint adds to an increasing number of legal disputes challenging airlines over hand luggage fees. In 2019, a The court determined that airlines cannot charge for hand baggage that meets reasonable weight and size requirements and complies with security regulations. Despite these rulings, Ryanair continues to enforce its baggage policies, asserting that they comply with EU law and that passengers have the option to add extra bags for an additional fee. The airline's stance has been met with criticism from consumer rights groups across Europe, who are arguing that charging for hand luggage is an unfair practice that violates EU regulations. And they hope that such complaints will lead to clearer guidelines and fairer treatment for passengers. 3 The airline has previously been involved in legal disputes regarding hand luggage fees Credit: Ryanair
