F1 rejects claims Spa coverage hiding energy problemFormula 1 has denied deliberately hiding the true extent of the 2026 cars' energy management problems after broadcasters questioned the television coverage from Spa. I don't understand it, said commentator Sascha Roos. Former F1 driver Timo Glock replied: Because they don't want to show the drop in speed. Max Verstappen said the regulations have left F1 cars at the legendary Spa circuit often with the power of a Formula 3. But if the simulations in 2022 or 2023 showed where this was headed, I don't understand how such a concept could have been approved.
