Damon Hill reacts to Max Verstappen's list of changes he'd want in the F1 calendar

Formula 1 legend Damon Hill has come up with his take in regard to Max Verstappen's stance on the changes he'd like to see in the sport. In line with this, Hill has reacted via Instagram stories.

Max Verstappen, the reigning world champion, has been competing in the pinnacle of motorsport since 2015. He has so far managed to amass 230 race starts during which he has put on board an impressive 68 wins, 124 podiums, and 47 pole positions alongside his four drivers' world championships.

Having been in the sport for several years, there are certain things that just don't sit well with him. For starters, Verstappen is not a huge fan of street circuits and also does not like three-day race weekends. Via a recent interaction with Autosport, the Dutchman added:

"Less races, not so many street circuits. A straightforward calendar. No Sprints, one practice, one qualifying and a race."

In line with Verstappen's reaction, Damon Hill has taken to his Instagram stories:

"One of the pot, Eh Jhonny?"

Damon Hill's reaction to Max Verstappen's comments

Formula 1 has come a long way in terms of advancement in recent years. New street circuits like Las Vegas, Jeddah, and Miami have also become integral parts of the sport. Moreover, the Sprint format has been in play since 2021.

Verstappen has always been a bit old-school in terms of his preferences, and he has, on quite a few occasions, advocated for keeping the traditional racetracks on the race calendar and not getting them removed because of the addition of new ones.

"Not much I can do": Max Verstappen on the 2025 F1 championship fight

While Damon Hill has given his reaction in response to Max Verstappen's take on the changes he'd like to see in F1, the latter has recently spoken about his championship prospects heading into the last three races of the 2025 season.

Ahead of the beginning of the on-track action in this week's Las Vegas Grand Prix race weekend, the Dutchman has added:

"There’s also not much I can do – we need a lot of luck now until the end to even have an opportunity, so personally I don’t think about that." (Via: F1)

Verstappen further talked about having a chance at victory in Las Vegas:

"Looking back at Brazil, yeah, I guess so, because the race pace was pretty decent. Of course I would have liked to start more at the front, but at the same time it was fun. I had a good time out there racing through the pack and fighting until the final lap. Of course it was only for P2, but I had good fun and I hope we can be competitive this weekend."

After the Las Vegas Grand Prix race weekend, the Qatar Grand Prix and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix are the other two race weekends remaining on the 2025 F1 calendar.
