F1 chief rules out changes to stop Max Verstappen and Red Bull dominance

FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem says Formula One will not make rule changes in a bid to prevent Red Bull and Max Verstappen from enjoying a prolonged period of dominance.

Red Bull have won every single race so far this season, with defending champion Verstappen winning seven Grand Prix and teammate Sergio Perez winning the other two. Verstappen currently sits first in the driver standings and is a whopping 81 points ahead of Perez in second place and 98 points clear of Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso in third.

They also enjoyed a dominant 2022 season, with Verstappen winning his second world title by 146 points and only five of the 22 races won by a non-Red Bull driver. As a result, Lewis Hamilton urged the FIA to step in and prevent Red Bull from continuing to dominate the sport.
