Domenicali on the new 2026 regulations:
"I see an incredible result in terms of the positivity shown by most of the fans regarding the effect that has on the races. I certainly accept the criticism related to certain situations we have to manage, mainly concerning qualifying"
"Qualifying has always been the moment when the driver has to give it their all and see what the real physical limits of the car and the driver are. That's an area we're working on these weeks, together with the drivers and teams, coordinated by the FIA, to see what the right adjustment might be without losing our way"
"If I look at the survey on what's happening around the world with new Formula 1 fans, the result is fantastic. Everyone is asking, 'What's going on?' There's a lot of action, and that's what people want to see."
"Generally speaking, when we talk about something, it's great, because it generates constructive debate. What I don't like is people who love to criticize. Criticizing for the sake of criticizing doesn't help anyone and it really has no effect."
