Sebastian Vettel alerta que regras da F1 para 2026 correm o risco de perder o DNA do esporte

O tetracampeão mundial Sebastian Vettel ecoou críticas aos regulamentos técnicos da Fórmula 1 para 2026, alertando que eles ameaçam a identidade central do esporte. Em entrevista à emissora sueca SVT, Vettel enfatizou a necessidade de preservar o 'DNA e o coração' da F1 em meio às preocupações de pilotos e fãs sobre a dinâmica das corridas. Os órgãos reguladores responderam com modificações para abordar essas questões.

Sebastian Vettel, ex-piloto da Red Bull e da Ferrari, expressou solidariedade aos atuais pilotos que enfrentam desafios com as regras de 2026. 'Do ponto de vista esportivo, eu ouço e ecoo as críticas, porque os carros provavelmente são divertidos de pilotar, mas provavelmente não é tão divertido correr devido aos regulamentos e às dificuldades que surgem com isso', disse Vettel à SVT. Ele acrescentou: 'Sou muito crítico para não perdermos o DNA e o coração deste esporte, que é encontrar o piloto mais rápido na máquina mais rápida para vencer a corrida'. Max Verstappen também criticou os fãs que gostam das novas regras, dizendo que eles 'não entendem de corrida'.
