Verstappen: If the rules don't change, I will leave!

      Max Verstappen continues to pressure the FIA and Formula 1 through the media, the team, and fans. On Saturday in Canada, he stated that he would leave the championship if changes to the regulations are not approved. Changes in 2027 – with a ratio of 60/40 between internal combustion engine power and electric components – may not pass, as they currently lack the necessary support. Red Bull and Mercedes formally approve this step, but other teams would prefer to postpone any major changes until 2028, as they are too costly. Verstappen believes that this is too long a wait. Max Verstappen: "If it continues like this, next year will be long and difficult, which I would not want at all. It is psychologically unbearable to remain in such a state. Missing a season and coming back is also not an option. There are many other interesting activities. Let's focus on the positive – everyone says they want these changes. Of course, right now some who have a certain advantage will resist changes, but if the FIA and Formula 1 are strong, they just need to do it."
