Despite his dislike of the regulations, Verstappen is actively involved in Red Bull Powertrains’ preparations for 2026 and remains optimistic about the team’s progress. He acknowledged the challenges of competing against other manufacturers but expressed confidence in the team’s capabilities.
When asked about what he would do if he had complete control over the new rules, Verstappen stated that he would immediately remove the V6 hybrid engines that have been used in Formula 1 since 2014.
