    Max Verstappen criticised Formula One’s new regulations after pre-season testing in Bahrain.
    He said the heavy energy management makes the cars “not fun to drive”.
    He called the system “anti-racing” and compared it to “Formula E on steroids”.
    He again warned he could leave the sport if he stops enjoying it.

    Lewis Hamilton voiced similar concerns.
    He said the new technology is extremely complex.
    He argued fans will struggle to understand it.
    The 2026 rules introduce new engines, chassis, tyres and sustainable fuel.
    Power now comes almost equally from combustion and electric systems.

    Testing times gave few reliable performance clues.
    Mercedes topped the times with Kimi Antonelli and George Russell.
    Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull Racing also showed strong pace.
    Verstappen suggested Mercedes were hiding their true speed.
    Mercedes claimed Red Bull held a major advantage.

    Lando Norris rejected Verstappen’s criticism.
    He said the new cars are still enjoyable and competitive.
    He expects Verstappen to keep fighting for victories.

    A political dispute continues over a suspected Mercedes engine loophole.
    The FIA plans talks before the season opener in Melbourne.

    Aston Martin endured a difficult test.
    Lance Stroll criticised the engine, balance and grip.
    The team’s new Adrian Newey-designed car remains far off the leading pace.
