Max Verstappen has spoken a lot about Formula E in 2026, and now he has reacted to its new car.
Jaguar Formula E driver António Félix da Costa shared that Max Verstappen finds the new Gen4 car of the all-electric series “cool” compared to his lack of enthusiasm for the current Gen3 Evo. The official launch of the new Gen4 car at Circuit Paul Ricard marks the beginning of Formula E’s next regulatory cycle next season. This race car represents a significant performance improvement, indicating a potential lap time decrease of at least 10 seconds on average, moving closer towards F1 levels. Verstappen’s interest in Formula E has sparked discussions in the F1 paddock, with his comparison of F1 regulations to “Formula E on steroids” during Bahrain pre-season testing. Verstappen’s endorsement of the Gen4 car, shared with da Costa, further adds to the excitement and validation of the series, highlighting a positive response from the F1 community regarding Formula E’s advancements in technology and performance.
