Max Verstappen has thrown his support behind proposed 2027 Formula 1 engine regulations, calling the changes 'very positive' for the sport's future. The Red Bull driver said improved engine performance would make staying in F1 more appealing, emphasizing his desire for a better overall product rather than just personal success.

Max Verstappen welcomed the shift toward increased internal combustion power and reduced electrical energy, a move also praised by Lando Norris and George Russell. The rule changes aim to address current issues where cars lose nearly half their power when switching to energy recovery mode mid-straight, which Russell called fundamentally incorrect for racing.

Verstappen arrives in Canada after a dramatic Nurburgring 24 Hours appearance, where a driveshaft failure with three hours remaining cost him victory. Despite the mechanical setback, he called the endurance experience 'something I really enjoyed' and confirmed plans to return to the German classic. His recent form suggests the rule changes align with his vision for Formula 1's direction.
