"I'm totally positive to say that there will be another incredible year, he said. I don't feel this anxiety, we need to stay calm because as always when there is something happening as a new regulation there's always the doubt that everything is wrong."
"I don't understand what is all panicking going around because there will be an incredible racing, there will be a lot of action and that's the most important thing, he said. I want to be positive in that respect and if something has to be rectified there will be the time and the measure that we can do together as a system to react."
Stefano Domenicali, Formula One chief executive, urged calm after strong driver criticism during pre-season testing and said F1 is prepared to intervene if racing proves disappointing. Drivers raised concerns that the new regulations prioritize energy management over flat-out driving, with Max Verstappen describing the rules as anti-racing and suggesting he might quit if the new cars remove driving enjoyment. The regulation changes are the most wide-ranging in F1 history and introduce engines with an almost 50-50 split between combustion and electrical power. Complex energy-management demands force drivers to lift off the throttle. Domenicali expressed optimism that racing will remain exciting and that adjustments can be made together if necessary.
