Max Verstappen thinks Formula 1 rules are too complex. In Mexico, he joked about it but was serious too. Meanwhile, McLaren wants to review the penalty Norris got at the United States Grand Prix.
Norris’ move on Verstappen has been a hot topic. He went off track, saying Verstappen pushed him. Both went off track a bit, but Verstappen said he had the right to the spot. The stewards agreed and gave Norris a five-second penalty.
Racing Rules: A Never-Ending Debate
The question of what’s allowed in racing is always up for debate. Verstappen feels it’s all gotten too complicated. “I think we are getting to a stage where I almost need the book in the car,” he chuckled in Mexico City. Over time, the rulebook has grown thicker with more regulations.
Verstappen believes overregulation isn’t helpful. “It is definitely overregulated,” he noted. But he understands why some want more rules after incidents happen. It’s a cycle: fewer rules lead to calls for stricter ones, and vice versa.
Fans might think these rules make racing less fun.
Sometimes, you wonder if simplicity would be better or if chaos would reign without all these guidelines. What do you think?
