For me, even this season I've been racing different kinds of cars, especially last week. And it reminds me of how pure motorsport and how great the racing can be. When I come back to F1, here most of the drivers are some of the best in the world. Even if you give us a rental car, we'll give you a good show and race each other hard and well. For me, it's not so much about the rules, but, for me, while driving, it's all a bit confusing. It's not what F1 should be about. It's way too complex: most of the rules, the fans don't even know what we're dealing with while racing. What is allowed, when you're behind, or when you're the car ahead, what we have to do on a formation lap or an out lap, how much battery we're allowed to charge, it's such a shame we have to deal with all these things. For me, F1 should be more pure. I really hope that what they try to do will come through, it's the necessary minimum to make it a bit more natural and back to normal. But like I said, as drivers, give us any car and we'll make it entertaining and give a good show.
