Max Verstappen told reporters at the F1 media day in Miami that the regulation tweaks for the Miami GP are “just a tickle,” downplaying their impact. The changes stem from the FIA’s April break review, which aimed to keep racing entertaining while addressing concerns around qualifying and closing speeds for teams seeking competitive edge today.

Verstappen praised the new dialogue between drivers and organisers, noting that Red Bull drivers now sit at the table with FIA officials and F1 chief Stefano Domenicali. He said that hearing the drivers’ voices could prevent future disputes and improve the sport’s product, even if the commercial side remains paramount for fans everywhere today daily on track all.

During simulator runs, Verstappen admitted the new 350‑kilowatt limit would ease energy‑management pressure but wouldn’t push qualifying laps to the extreme. He added that the tweaks are a modest step, hoping the next season will bring more substantive changes to keep the grid competitive and the spectacle sharp for fans everywhere today on track all.

Verstappen concluded that the FIA’s willingness to listen marks a positive shift in Formula 1’s governance, yet he cautioned that the sport’s commercial nature will always influence decisions. The Miami GP regulation changes, while modest, signal a growing partnership between drivers and regulators that could shape the future of racing if continued for teams.
