🚨| Jos Verstappen: "I'm afraid that Max will lose motivation. Those who criticize him seek visibility”
— Jos Verstappen expressed concern over his son Max's potential loss of motivation due to the current state of Formula 1. Speaking to media, he remarked:
“When he hits therealize that he doesn't like driving these cars at all. I totally understand your frustration. As a pilot you should be rewarded for your courage and your qualities. But if you now take a curve as fast as possible, you end up being slower in the lap. And this takes away all the feeling that a race must give, they are focused only on the battery.”
— Jos emphasized the difficulty for drivers like Max to showcase their talent under the new regulations:
“This makes it harder for a pilot like Max to make a difference, as a pilot you can hardly show off your talent anymore. In racing you overtake when braking, while now you see overtaking in the middle of the straight because the other one has run out of energy. Chaos is created and this chaos pleases a certain type of audience.”
“Running with these cars doesn't stimulate Max, I'm afraid he's losing his motivation. And this is becoming a problem from a future perspective.”
— Addressing critics of Max, Jos responded strongly to recent comments from figures like Gunther Steiner, Ralf Schumacher, and Nelsinho Piquet:
“Those comments drive me crazy, I have the feeling that some people are shooting nonsense just to get visibility. Max's feeling in the car has nothing to do with performance. I wonder why some people get so upset that Max is complaining. He is only giving honest answers to the questions he receives, he is not the one who brings up the topic. Should they appreciate that it's direct, or do we just want yes-men in this sport?”
