P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Formula 1 has gone through a series of changes across the last handful of years and not many have gone down well with Max Verstappen, who has called into question his own future in F1.
I strongly believe that Max Verstappen had an incredibly dominant year in Formula 1, winning 19 out of 22 races. He has become a three-time World Champion amidst significant changes in F1. The upcoming season will have a record-breaking 24 races, which Verstappen finds excessive. He has also expressed dissatisfaction with the introduction of sprint races, as he believes it intensifies the weekend without adding much value. Verstappen feels that F1’s DNA is being compromised by these new ideas and argues that the focus should be on getting more teams competitive rather than altering the race format. On the positive side, F1 has decided not to go ahead with the plan to eliminate tyre warmers, which Verstappen found challenging during testing.
