Verstappen: "It's not that we are critical just to be critical, we are critical for a reason, we want it to be Formula 1, a proper Formula 1 on steroids. Today of course again that was not the case."
Hadjar: “No. I don't see how the racing is good. At least for me, when I'm seeing cars going by everywhere, I don't see how that's a step forward.”
Bearman: “It's a bit ridiculous, to be honest, to have that much delta in a button, and to lose that much on the next straight. It's also very non-linear, so what you gain on the straight where you use the boost is a quarter as much as what you lose on the next straight. So unless you basically complete the move at the start of the straight, as in you exit the corner, you complete the move, and then you harvest, harvest, harvest, the next straight they're going to get you back, and that's not racing, that's Formula E.”
Norris: “It's a shame, it's very artificial, depending on what the power unit decides to do and randomly does at times. You just get overtaken by five cars, or you can just do nothing about it sometimes. There's nothing we can change about it, so there's no point saying any more. Not for me.”
Lawson: “Honestly it's not super fun to drive in the race, you're just constantly managing energy, running out of energy, slowing down at the end of every straight.”
Ocon: “It feels like it's very artificial in the way you have to drive. So if we are a bit more free on everything, it will be good. “It's painful because you can't really do much as drivers. Once you use the boost button, and you have not managed to overtake, or even if you overtake, you are just vulnerable again on the next straight.”
![Pérez: "I think we are all [...] with the artificial racing, it's too artificial. Unfortunately, Formula 1 has changed a lot."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2ppkrhmtnu6n4ubmwpjgx3aq/bafkreig7qt7revuwi5eygvxhpeum7y73l2hnnd6pxr6d42qowkezlkudzi)

Drivers share their thoughts after the first race with the new regulations in Australia 🇦🇺🏁
Several drivers described the racing as overly artificial, pointing to heavy energy management and limited opportunities to actually fight on track.
