Max Verstappen is fed up with repeating the same criticism of the 2026 Formula 1 cars time and time again, despite caring deeply about the sport's product.
After finishing on the podium at the Belgian Grand Prix, the Dutchman was asked about the 2026 cars again during the post-race press conference. Then, he jokingly said: "Honestly, I don't want to sit here and complain again because probably someone will shoot me outside the door."
Speaking to GPblog, among others, the former four-time world champion addressed his comment. "No, I was joking about that one. I have spoken my mind about these regulations already for a long time. And in the beginning most people were saying, 'he's complaining, he should shut up.'
"I have to say that the last few races more and more people are seeing the same thing that I could see coming already a long time."
The Red Bull driver continued: "It's not about me not winning anymore, it's just because I care about the product. Because I've said it many, many times. And at one point that's also enough. But of course, when people keep asking, well then, yeah, maybe it's not appreciated always."
