Max Verstappen makes ‘F1 on steroids’ demand after Australia ‘chaos’
Max Verstappen is urging the FIA and F1 to transform the series into “Formula 1 on steroids” after racing in the new era. He has been critical of F1’s direction for the past three years, particularly with the 50-50 split of combustion and electrical power. Verstappen described the current state of the sport as “Formula E on steroids” during testing in Bahrain, expressing a desire to see a return to traditional F1. Although he did not explicitly state it, there is a sense that he may leave if significant changes are not implemented. Following his Australian Grand Prix performance, where he climbed from 20th to sixth place, Verstappen labeled the racing as chaotic and emphasized the need for improvements in the rules to enhance the sport’s overall appeal. He stressed the importance of finding solutions to make F1 more enjoyable for everyone.
