Max Verstappen doubles down on F1 2026 rules criticism: ‘Get rid of hybrid engines!’Max Verstappen has doubled down on his criticism of F1’s planned rule changes for the 2026 season, claiming he would “definitely” get rid of the hybrid engines if he was in charge of the sport.
And with such innovations as active aerodynamics potentially on the way too, he has called for competitors to put what’s best for the sport above their own ambitions.“And also, the way under braking the engine just almost stays flat out, I think it will just create [a] very weird atmosphere – it’s a bit like with the blown diffusers, just being flat out almost.
“They will say it’s great, but at the end of the day we really have to look into what is good for the sport and I think at the moment, with how it’s looking, I don’t think it’s good for the sport. “It’s all looking very promising. Of course, to go up against all these manufacturers is going to be very tough, but the signs are good, but now we have to try and deliver.
He said: “These [current] cars are, of course, incredibly fast. Of course, I still enjoyed the 2020/21 cars – they were a bit more agile, a bit more fun, but also they were very heavy.
