Four-time world champion Max Verstappen has doubled down on his criticism of the 2026 regulations, calling the new cars his 'least favourite' ever to drive. Verstappen has been vocal about his displeasure with the energy management limitations, which he believes reduce the driver's ability to race wheel-to-wheel. His persistent criticism puts pressure on the FIA and Formula 1 to consider adjustments, though the governing body has urged patience as teams develop their cars.
