F1 star Lance Stroll, similar to Max Verstappen, is discontent with the new 2026 regulations, dividing opinions among drivers and fans on the wheel-to-wheel racing experience. These changes have shifted the sport away from pure speed towards factors like battery management and ‘lift and coast’.

He contrasted the lack of fun in driving current F1 cars with the more enjoyable experience of driving F3 cars during the break. Stroll highlighted the disconnect between F1’s commercial success and the drivers’ dissatisfaction, emphasizing the shift towards business priorities over the beauty and joy of racing.
