"It's terrible. If someone likes this, then you really don't know what racing is like. Not fun at all. Playing Mario Kart. This is not racing and I would say the same if I would be winning races because I care about the racing product."
"Max is really, I think, in a horror show. When you look at the onboard he has in qualifying, this is just horrendous to drive."
"Hamilton said it was the best racing I've ever experienced in Formula One."
Max Verstappen has vocally criticized the new Formula One regulations, particularly the emphasis on electrical energy deployment and recovery, calling the racing product unsatisfying and comparing it to Mario Kart. Toto Wolff dismisses these complaints as stemming from Red Bull's struggling car, which has been fourth-fastest at best in the opening rounds and difficult to drive. Mercedes, meanwhile, has achieved one-two victories in the first two races with a superior car featuring a powerful engine and excellent balance. Despite initial concerns about the regulations, the Chinese Grand Prix demonstrated successful racing with overtaking and wheel-to-wheel competition throughout the field. Lewis Hamilton praised it as the best racing he has experienced in Formula One. Rule adjustments will be reconsidered after the Japanese Grand Prix rather than immediately following China.
