‘Come and speak to us’: Hamilton calls for more driver involvement in F1 rules

• ‘It needs to change’ says seven-time champion

• Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll calls rules ‘fundamentally flawed’

Lewis Hamilton believes Formula One drivers should have a “seat at the table” in discussion on directions the sport should take in future, to have an input alongside key stakeholders such as the teams and the FIA. Hamilton’s view was largely echoed across the paddock including by the current defending champion, Lando Norris.

Hamilton was speaking before this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix where the rule changes implemented after driver dissatisfaction with this year’s new regulations are taking effect for the first time.
