via RacingNews365Max Verstappen surprised at F1 rivals for wasteful 'not real' actionsMax Verstappen has expressed his surprise at the tactics employed by some of his Formula 1 rivals, which he perceives as wasteful. He noted that while these drivers expend energy in battles, he is able to overtake them effortlessly, highlighting a shift in the dynamics of racing where overtakes are often executed on straights rather than through skillful maneuvers in corners. This has led to a phenomenon he describes as 'yo-yo racing', where positions frequently change without meaningful competition.
Verstappen believes that this style of racing may mislead non-racing fans into thinking that there are more overtakes than there truly are. He prefers a more traditional approach to overtaking, emphasizing the skill involved in braking rather than relying on energy management. His comments reflect a concern that the essence of racing is being diluted, as he feels the current methods do not align with what true racing should represent.Wed 19 Aug · 05:25 UTC
