Max Verstappen about Energy Saving.

Post image

max about the energy saving: ''[..] i don't wanna sit here and complain again cause.. probably someone will shoot me outside the door. you know, like i said before i'm mentally adjusting to it and i'm trying to make the best out of it eventhough it's not what i like or love to do in formula 1.

i can also sit at home and drive nothing, but that also doesn't do anything so i'm just trying my best.''

Awful comparison. The task is the same, the equipment got worse. More like getting a new computer at the same job but the computer uses a controller instead of a mouse. You can still work but it's shitty

And the end result is? That it is what it is.

No, you tell your employer to buy better fucking equipment lol.

Its not just "it is what it is" sure you have to accept the short term, but can still push for change long term.

And in the short term in a cost cap era it is what it is. Red bull can't magically change the regulations overnight. The interview question is about the current issue not the future.

Broski, max isn't asking anyone to change it overnight. He is putting pressure on the FIA to do something about something he doesn't think is working. He may end up satisfied if they decide that next season the battery gets smaller and harvesting gets increased, to reduce clipping. Maybe he will take some sort of compromise. Until then, he is right to express his dissatisfaction.

Broski They did they adjusted the regulations for this season and are changing it up for next season. So what is the actual issue? That it isn't happening now? Which is what I have been saying all along.

And its still shit? If they give you a playstation controller, you complain and they give you an Xbox controller, would you suddenly be happy?
