Max Verstappen Brands New F1 Season a ‘Joke’ Due to ‘Painful’ New Regulations
- Max Verstappen retired from the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai on Sunday following an engine failure with 10 laps remaining, capping a difficult weekend after finishing outside the points in Saturday's sprint race.
- Verstappen has been deeply critical of current Formula One regulations requiring drivers to manage battery power and use a boost button for overtaking, warning three years ago that these rules would harm the sport.
- Kimi Antonelli celebrated his first career win in China, while Lewis Hamilton finished third for Mercedes after battling Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc; Hamilton, in his 20th season, secured the podium.
- Verstappen claimed the racing product is "terrible" and warned battery management will "come back to bite the sport on the a***," arguing the regulations prioritize technology over racing quality.
- Most drivers and real Formula One fans dislike the current system, Verstappen insisted, though some benefiting from the rules support them; he expressed hope future changes will remove these regulations.
