Patrese: “Verstappen ready to leave the Circus? Concerning that F1 no longer provides the thrills of the past”

The Dutchman has slammed the new generation of F1

“More than F1, they are Formula E on steroids.” Max Verstappen was not kind in slamming this new generation of F1. The perfect power split between the internal combustion engine and the electric component may have created ‘monsters’ such as lift and coast in Qualifying and the extreme difficulty in overtaking in the race in light of the active aerodynamics available to everyone.

The Dutchman has always been clear about the fact that he does not race in F1 to chase and achieve any records, and therefore if other categories were to warm the Red Bull driver’s heart more, an escape by Verstappen towards the world of GT and endurance racing cannot be ruled out, given that the main desire of the four-time world champion at this moment seems to be participating in the 24 Hours of Nurburgring.

Verstappen’s statements did not leave Riccardo Patrese indifferent: “It is strange that Formula 1 no longer gives drivers the emotions of the past – said the former driver reached by talkSPORT BET Slots Siteit is worrying that Max Verstappen has to look for those emotions in other categories. After leaving Formula 1 when I tried other races like the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Nissan in 1996 I did not feel the same pleasure I felt driving in Formula 1. Hearing an F1 driver say that he feels no pleasure in driving in Formula 1 and that he wants to move to endurance racing seems strange to me. If Verstappen left F1 we would lose one of the best drivers of all time, we have seen that Max Verstappen is capable of making a difference like only the best drivers of the past, like Senna and Schumacher, knew how to do. It would be a great loss if he left Formula 1, because he is a great champion. Now I see him as the only driver capable of making a difference and winning even if he doesn’t have a winning car. Last year he proved it and almost won the championship.”
