Vettel also among critics of modern F1
Formula 1 has approved a series of regulation changes after the first three races had highlighted significant limitations regarding qualifying and the safety of the new cars. To evaluate the impact of these improvements (which came after multiple discussions between FIA, F1, teams, drivers, and engine manufacturers), we will only have to wait for the Miami weekend, but the impression is that the blanket is short, and that increasing the power output from electric power represents a bottleneck from which it will be impossible to escape quickly.

Among the critics of the new F1 is also Sebastian Vettel: the four-time world champion has taken a position very similar to that of Max Verstappen, who has threatened to retire from a sport he no longer recognizes.
Vettel’s words
“From a sporting point of view, I understand and share the criticism. The cars may be fun to drive, but it’s probably not as much fun to race due to the regulations and the difficulties that arise from them,” commented the German. “I sympathize with the drivers and I am very careful not to lose the DNA and soul of this sport, which consists of finding the fastest driver in the fastest car.”
“I hope that, from a sporting point of view, the changes will make the drivers happier, because ultimately the drivers are the face of this sport,” he added. “If they get out of the car full of adrenaline and enthusiastic, this excites the public.”
