Have F1's new rules produced a "battery world championship" or "the best racing ever"? Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso sum up the paradox at the heart of the sport.
I think Verstappen really hates these regulations because if he does his normal thing and drives people off the track, it’s going to be impossible to hide how much it screws over the other driver.
He’s used to kicking over smaller sand castles like “battery level”, “tire temperature”, etc. Now when a driver sets up a move and he tries to cheat it, everyone will flip out because the battery is under a massive spotlight. Instant penalty, complaining about stewards, “don’t think I’m gonna stay for much longer”
