Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen has admitted he is not a fan of Formula 1 street circuits.
Two-time F1 title winner Max Verstappen, who has won all of F1’s major road trophies in recent years, including Monaco, Miami, Jeddah and Baku, admits he no longer caters to the barrier-enclosed discipline.
“Formula 1 cars are not built for this,” Verstappen told Dutch Formula 1 magazine.
“The old car was still easy to handle, but not now. In Monaco and Singapore I was very disappointed with the road handling of the new car.”
“It’s too heavy, too stiff. You can’t use curbs anymore. Cars aren’t built for that.”
“It’s good for photos, but not for racing,” smiled Max Verstappen.
Unfortunately, 2023 will see the addition of a new road track, the F1 Las Vegas GP.
