Indirect response to Domenicali Stefano Domenicali didn’t have time to try to silence the criticism directed at this Formula 1, stating that “Formula 1 has no problems and is in excellent shape” and in turn pointing the finger at the statements of certain drivers who in his opinion “should have been managed differently” that a new attack has arrived against the current technical regulations. It was launched by the veteran Sergio Perez, who at the wheel of the Cadillac experienced the first three events of this season from the back of the pack. Interviewed in Mexico City at an event organized by his sponsors, the former Red Bull bearer did not mince words to define the technical revolution imposed this season, going so far as to say that “no one understands this Formula 1”. Words which, we can bet, Domenicali and the Circus leaders certainly will not have appreciated, especially since they had declassified the criticisms aimed at the sport as dependent on an “overly engineering mentality” of certain professionals and long-time enthusiasts. Nadie welcomes the new Formula 1! Checo Pérez assures that “the drinks are not as fun as before”. Furthermore, he confessed that neither the drivers nor the engineers understood the new rules of the current F1 time. pic.twitter.com/xuFjAl5SRP— Universal Deportes (@UnivDeportes) April 23, 2026 More complicated, less fun “Yes, this Formula 1 is definitely very different and the reality is that no one understands it: neither the engineers, nor us drivers. It’s a fact that the cars are no longer as fun as they used to be,” said Perez, bluntly. “It’s a new and very complicated Formula 1 – added the Cadillac driver – and very different from what we were used to. All the teams have a lot to learn. As a driver, you always try to go as fast as possible, but now the electrical and charging aspects play a more significant role; this makes everything very different and that’s why it was so difficult for us.” “There comes a point where you go 80 or 90 kilometers per hour faster than the car in front of you and you don’t know why – he concluded, making an implicit reference to the accident that occurred in Suzuka to Ollie Bearman, who found himself having to ‘dodge’ Franco Colapinto’s slower car: “It’s difficult; You have no information about what’s going on. We all have to adapt to this change in regulation”, underlined ‘Checo’.
