I reckon you can't blame anyone for leaving their job for whatever reason, salaries are still paid and departed Handkammer just reckons so.

F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali doesn't see the battery-related increase in overtaking as artificial.

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."

I agree that they will not change anything unless their profit takes a hit.
You should do like me, "vote" with your wallet! I didn't pay them a single dime since they introduced the terrible V6 Formula, now 12 years ago. They still haven't given me the N/A engine I want, but I opened my wallet for the first time in 12 years, giving this new formula a shot since they killed DRS, made the cars smaller, and introduced overtaking.

It's still early days, let's see if the formula gets tweaked.

[COLOR="rgb(226, 229, 233)"]"He told me what kind of offer he received. I said: you would be stupid not to do that. We have already achieved everything together. And then he gets such a great offer, also with his family in mind and the security it would give him. He asked me for a sort of permission and I said that he absolutely had to do it. He really wanted to hear that from me."[/COLOR]
