Max Verstappen has previously likened the 2026 version of F1 to the Mario Kart racing game and also said it was "Formula E on steroids"
Red Bull's Max Verstappen says the changes to Formula 1's rules amount to "a tickle" in terms of addressing his and other drivers' concerns about the new style of racing.
However, championship contender George Russell described the changes as "good" and world champion Lando Norris said the drivers "have to be happy" with what had been done.
A series of complex technical tweaks have been made with two main aims - to return qualifying to a more flat-out challenge for the drivers, and to reduce closing speeds during racing.
Verstappen, who has said the new cars have made him question his future in the sport, said: "It's a tickle. It's not what we need yet to really make it flat out. Like I said, it's complicated to get everything to agree. I just hope that next year we can make really big, big changes."
