Maybe Verstappen needs a break from F1? - Hill
Max Verstappen said after the Japanese Grand Prix that he was considering quitting Formula 1 - and then said that the bosses of the sport "know what to do" to keep him in it.
Verstappen's issue is with the new rules. He has been clear all year that the new form of driving and racing the new hybrid engines have created is not to his taste. And he repeated that opinion after the race in Suzuka, as well as before it.
The four-time champion said he was "not enjoying the whole formula behind it, it doesn't feel natural to a racing driver".
He added: "Of course I try to adapt to it, but it's not nice the way you have to race. It's really anti-driving. Then at one point, yeah, it's just not what I want to do."
