Carlos Sainz issues his verdict on the recent Formula 1 qualifying tweaks
Carlos Sainz believes that Formula 1 still has a long way to go in solving its qualifying issues, but he is committed to refraining from further criticism. Several adjustments were implemented to the F1 regulations prior to the Miami Grand Prix in response to feedback from teams and drivers. Qualifying, particularly, raised concerns as fans observed drivers strategically slowing down and conserving energy instead of pushing flat-out. Although it is challenging to assess the effectiveness of the changes at the Miami track due to its unique characteristics, there was a consensus that progress had been made. Despite positive steps, Sainz maintains that significant improvements are required for qualifying in F1. He commended the FIA’s responsiveness to concerns and stressed the need for continued enhancements in the sport.
