F1 still ‘not what it should be about’ – Max Verstappen unmoved on rule tweaks
Max Verstappen’s opinion on Formula 1 remains consistent despite recent rule changes at the Miami Grand Prix. The Red Bull driver continues to criticize the 2026 engine regulations and the new style of racing in F1. Verstappen had expressed doubts about his future in F1 due to the new cars before rule tweaks were announced during the April break. Although the changes aimed to improve qualifying and reduce closing speeds during races, Verstappen believes they are insufficient. He stated that the regulations still require drivers to sacrifice speed in order to go faster, and emphasized the need for further improvements in F1. Additionally, Verstappen’s sentiments align with McLaren’s Lando Norris, who also called for more significant changes and suggested removing the battery from F1 cars for a better racing experience.
