Ias if thats not bad enough, I nearly had to turn C4s highlights off at the start with 5.minutes of intro of a mock race looking like a video game complete with sound and visual effects. I know im no longer the target audience but christ, how childish its.making a sport I used to love.

Speaking of which, apparently Max is considering his future in F1 because he doesn't like his car.

its not the car so much as the style of racing theyve got to put up with now, I dont think any of the drivers who have been there for a while and remember how it was, are enjoying it, obviously if he was leading the championship he could probably put up with it, when youre mid grid and still risking your life, Ollie Bearmans crash was a reminder this sport is very dangerous, in these things...and at Suzuka especially with memories of Jules Bianchi.

you do question why you are doing this, as any normal adult would, Max is just more vocal about things than the others.

None of them have complained except Max. The Merc, Ferrari and McLaren drivers seem to be loving it.

I think he'd like the car if he was winning...

Norris isn't happy either. Piastri is happy he won but it was the first GP he started this year.
No driver is happy with the car deciding how much battery to deploy and not them.
Bearman's accident was caused by the huge delta between cars either deploying or not.

I predict chaos when it rains .

All fair points and many drivers have said that the system needs tweaking. Max is the only driver who has complained that he doesn't like these cars at all. All of the other interviews suggested that drivers like the cars and system but want some changes to improve it.

I've no idea where you get the idea that everyone bar Verstappen is happy with the regs.

Or are u just annoyed that everything Verstappen predicted about these cars is correct ?

No-one else is bitterly and vociferously complaining?

Besides Norris, Leclerc, Sainz, Albon, Hadjar, etc who complain all the time .
Hulkenberg won't comment and the Cadillacs are too busy building a team .

Basically trying to put it Verstappen's door is fundamentally incorrect.
