Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has addressed Max Verstappen's criticism of the new 2026 regulations, emphasizing open dialogue and the weight of drivers' words. He highlighted positive early season figures while noting upcoming discussions on potential adjustments. Domenicali stressed that Verstappen's voice must be heard but carries significant influence.
After the first three grands prix under the 2026 ruleset, F1 is in an April break for reflection. Team principals are set to meet on April 20 to discuss adjustments raised in technical talks, including a recent meeting of experts last Thursday. The focus is on energy management to reduce dangerous closing speeds and restore aggressive qualifying.
