Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula One champion, has urged for greater driver involvement in the decision-making processes of the sport, advocating for a 'seat at the table' alongside teams and the FIA. Speaking ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, Hamilton highlighted the need for collaboration, particularly in the development of new tyres and regulations that impact performance. His sentiments were echoed by fellow drivers, including Lando Norris and Max Verstappen, who expressed dissatisfaction with the current regulations, especially regarding energy management, which has significantly altered how drivers compete. Verstappen noted that better driver input in the past could have prevented the current issues. Norris pointed out that the Grand Prix Driver’s Association (GPDA) has discussed the importance of driver involvement, emphasizing that it would benefit both drivers and fans. Lance Stroll from Aston Martin criticized the new regulations as 'fundamentally flawed,' suggesting that the perspectives of drivers and the business interests of F1 often clash. The drivers hope that the recent rule adjustments will improve their racing experience, but many feel that more proactive engagement in the rule-making process is essential for the sport's future.
