World champion Verstappen says he has seen simulation traces of how the 2026 cars perform, and his first impressions are far from good. “For me, the problem is it looks like it's going to be an ICE competition, so whoever has the strongest engine will have a big benefit,” he said. While in theory this sounds cutting edge, Verstappen is sceptical about that being the right direction for F1.
