Verstappen looks around
Slow down when cornering to recharge the battery and go faster on the straight. The 2026 Formula 1 travels on these tracks, which not everyone likes. Indeed, to almost none of the pilots. Certainly not to Max Verstappen, who in the tests defined it as Formula E on steroids and never misses an opportunity to show the Circus his interest in other championships. He doesn’t want to leave, he just has other interests that attract him at the moment, perhaps even more than the F1 World Championship.
The four-time world champion has repeatedly said that he does not enjoy driving the 2026 cars, and for this reason too he will participate in the 24 Hours of the Nürburgring with a Mercedes AMG GT3. These were his words in the press conference of the Chinese GP.
Verstappen’s words
“I would like to have a bit more fun in F1, but I’m also doing other things that I really enjoy. I will race at the Nordschleife and I hope to be able to race at Spa and Le Mans in the next few years. I’m combining it all to find other things that I really enjoy. I have many distractions. Beautiful distractions, I would define them“, this is the comment of the vice world champion.
“There the racing is probably a little more old fashioned and there is less politics, all things I appreciate and where I can be more myself“he added.”I don’t have to be just an F1 driver. I can do other things too, especially because I’ve been racing in F1 for a while and I’ve already achieved everything I wanted“They won’t be starting threats, but if Formula 1 is made up of drivers and fans, then it must meet them while also accepting steps backwards.
