Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen has called for the sport to bring back naturally aspirated V8 engines and to replace the current DRS overtaking aid with a system similar to IndyCar's push-to-pass. The remarks have struck a chord with fans, many of whom share his view that modern F1 cars and racing formats have lost some of their appeal, though the sport's regulators have so far committed to the current engine and aero rules.
Why now: Verstappen's comments tap into a long-running fan debate about the sound, simplicity and quality of racing in modern Formula 1.
