Hill: Verstappen’s threat to retire is very real

Max Verstappen has said on several occasions that he does not like the change in the weekend’s format and the increase in the number of sprint stages. In Australia he stated: “We are approaching seasons where we will have 24, 25 Grand Prix. And if we add more events at the same time on weekends, I’ll stop having fun.

On the SkySport F1 broadcast, 1996 world champion Damon Hill commented on this comment from the Dutchman…

Damon Hill: “Agree, it is rather strange to hear such words from Max, but the meaning is obvious. The fun of racing is very important. You have to love what you do, otherwise it becomes a routine.

It seems to me that he does not want to waste his time on changes that are only intended to change. He came into Formula 1 to win the Grand Prix, so this win meant something. No one will later ask, “How many sprints have you won?” Everyone is only interested in winning the Grand Prix.”
