Lance Stroll: F1 still "miles off" from proper cars

Stroll argues the 2026 F1 regulations are still not fit for purpose and remain fundamentally flawed for the coming seasons, reflecting a broader discontent with the new era.
New energy-management tweaks ahead of Miami aim to let drivers push more in qualifying by adjusting energy harvesting limits.
Gasly agrees the refinements are a move in the right direction but not a game changer for F1's 2026 experience.
Drivers emphasize safety and stress data-driven tweaks to guide future regulation changes.
Stroll contrasts the current F1 with historic cars, hoping for a return to more engaging, characterful machines.
Gasly envisions lift-and-coast being largely eradicated on a single lap as part of the forthcoming tweaks.
Stroll cites reminiscing over older F1 eras and their sound to argue for a return to louder, lighter machines.
Alpine-backed feedback from drivers is valued as part of policy shaping for future regulations.
Teams anticipate further tweaks after Miami, depending on data from upcoming races.
Stroll frames the debate as balancing speed, safety, and sustainability, acknowledging the challenge of pleasing all stakeholders.
