In recent days, it has been a leading news story that Formula 1 is taking its self-promotion a step further and will be holding a public show in London instead of the tried and tested traditional car reveals at the beginning of the year.
We don't know about you, but we feel like we're not at a car race, but at another trashy experience, detached from reality. And we're not alone in this... Max Verstappen, who is on his way to his fourth world championship title, also has no use for F1's new idea and has even criticized it mercilessly. Not during a public media appearance, but once it's on the internet, it stays there...
"What kind of F175 is that? What are you talking about? No, I'm definitely not going to watch any F1... By the way, I really hope I'm lucky enough to get sick this week." - this was Verstappen's merciless criticism.
It would be difficult to argue with the Dutchman. Instead of solving the regular antics that occur in rainy races, developing a viable rain tire, or reporting on why almost nothing has come of the announced rule changes (easier chasing, easier overtaking, less dominance, etc.), they prefer to make a monkey out of Formula 1. Will there also be ghost fights?
