Unhappy Verstappen ‘has to be listened to’ over new rules, says F1 chief Domenicali

• Red Bull driver outspoken about regulation changes

• ‘In a meeting he was very keen to give suggestions’

Formula One must listen to Max Verstappen’s grievances about the sport’s new regulations and their impact on racing, according to F1’s chief Stefano Domenicali as key players hold meetings to consider adjusting the rules for the remainder of the season.

Verstappen has been outspoken in his dissatisfaction with the new formula and the key part energy management now plays in preventing being able to race flat-out. The four-time champion is not alone in his feelings with other drivers also critical of the deployment and recharging of electrical energy.
