He argues that the advanced power units and energy management systems are dampening driver input, making it harder to distinguish true talent from competent racers—pointing to rookies like Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda as examples. While acknowledging their impressive performances, he notes they were often outqualified by teammates, a pattern seen historically with substitute drivers like Hulkenberg and Russell. Verstappen, who won his first race at 18, still loves the competition but longs for a future where driver influence is more pronounced. He’s hopeful upcoming regulations and even a potential return to V8 engines will bring back the engaging, responsive driving experience he believes F1 should offer.
