Max Verstappen has not been shy about voicing his criticisms of the new F1 regulations — but is he now going too far?
Max Verstappen has been outspoken about his dissatisfaction with the new F1 regulations, calling them “anti-racing” and stating he hasn’t enjoyed a single lap this season.
The four-time F1 champion started expressing his discontent during pre-season testing and intensified his criticism at the recent Japanese Grand Prix.
Struggling at ninth place in the standings, Verstappen hinted at leaving F1 after 2026, a move he had previously ruled out.
Despite suggestions that his complaints stem from his car’s performance, Verstappen denies this and is now facing criticism from figures like Martin Brundle and Juan Pablo Montoya.
Brundle finds Verstappen’s stance “boring” and “damaging”, while Montoya suggests the Dutch driver should “shut up” and focus on racing.
