It was the main news in recent days that Formula-1 will move to a new level of exhibitionism and instead of the tried and true, traditional car unveilings at the beginning of the year, it will hold a public show in London.
We don't know about you, but when we state this, we once again feel like we're not at a race, but in another trashy experience, far removed from reality. And we're not alone in this... Max Verstappen, who is aiming for his fourth world title, also didn't accept the new F1 idea, on the contrary, he harshly criticized it. True, not during a public appearance, but once it leaks onto the internet, it stays there...
"What is F175? What are you talking about? No, I won't watch any F1... And I hope I'm lucky enough to get sick that week." - Verstappen said in a harsh criticism.
It would be hard to argue with the Dutchman. Instead of solving the regular comedy we've seen at rainy races, producing usable rain tires, informing why almost none of the announced rule changes (easier following, easier overtaking, less dominance, etc.) have been implemented, they prefer to turn Formula 1 into a circus. Will there be a spiritual struggle?
