- Four-time world champion Max Verstappen is considering retiring from Formula 1 due to his dissatisfaction with the sport's new engine and chassis regulations.
- Verstappen has labelled the new rules as 'anti-racing' and 'like Formula E on steroids', criticising the 'lift-and-coast' driving style they necessitate.
- F1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali acknowledged Verstappen's concerns, stating his voice 'has to be listened to' given his status as a multiple world champion.
- Domenicali indicated that Verstappen 'understands the bigger picture' and has been involved in meetings to discuss potential alterations to the rulebook.
- Despite a £50m-a-year contract with Red Bull until 2028, Verstappen could reportedly negotiate an early exit if he is not in the top two of the world championship by the summer break.
