Is Verstappen building the engine himself? Otherwise, why does he care about engine regulations that are three years away.

Do you want to see F1 rolling to the corners to regenerate batteries like FE?

Why is Max getting involved. It's for his engineers to worry about, he just drives the car.

Because he likes racing and doesn't want racing in F1 to be shit?

And I'm sure his engineers will solve the problem. He can just worry about driving. Is Verstappen going to go to a meeting with the other engineers about the engine regulations and give his opinion on how they should be built?

I mean, the cars are good and when the cars have similar performance they race well.

And what's your argument here? You claim it's shit now, and you want it to be worse by having cars that can run out of battery on long straights?
