Carlos Sainz claims Formula 1’s current technical regulations are bad for the health of the drivers. “I did my usual checks – on the back, around the neck – and this year I’m stiffer everywhere.”. “It’s about understanding how much a driver has to pay for his Formula 1 car with his back and his health with this kind of automotive philosophy,” said Sainz, the 27-year-old son of the world rallying great. I think the regulations are great – they are doing what we needed to race. But is it necessary to run so stiff for our necks and our back?”.
