Verstappen proposes V8 engines and push-to-pass as a DRS alternative

Max Verstappen wants Formula 1 to return to V8 engines and use a small battery for push-to-pass, which he says could make DRS unnecessary. He floated the idea on the P1 with Matt & Tommy podcast after being asked which F1 rule he would change.

Verstappen said a V8 would improve drivability, be lighter and make racing more enjoyable. He also said DRS can be too powerful in some places.
