Hamilton aims dig at Verstappen and Red Bull suggesting rule change

Lewis Hamilton expressed his displeasure with the current Red Bull dominance, suggesting the FIA should take action by implementing new rules, which will halt the Austrians’ progress.

Hamilton stated that Red Bull are already focusing on the 2024 car development as they are so far ahead in 2023 that they don’t need any more work.

‘The FIA should set a time when everyone is allowed to start developing next year’s car.’ he said.

‘Say August 1, so that no one can get an advantage, because that sucks.’

Verstappen was quick to react, saying no such things were discussed, when Mercedes was at the peak of their dominance in the 2014-2020 period.

‘We were not talking about this when he was winning his championships, right, so I don’t think we should now.’ Verstappen said

‘That is how Formula One works. When you have a competitive car it is great, but at some point you have to look ahead to the following year.’

‘A lot of things in life are unfair. You just have to deal with it.’
