F1 superstar Lewis Hamilton hits out at costly FIA ruling at Spanish Grand Prix
Lewis Hamilton strongly criticized the new FIA rule regarding flexi-wings introduced for the Spanish Grand Prix.
These new rules limit flexibility in the front wing and flap to 10mm from the previous 15mm, creating controversy among Formula 1 stakeholders.
Despite the mid-season change, drivers such as Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris dominated qualifying at the Spanish GP, prompting Hamilton to remark that the rule change had little effect.
Teams like Ferrari were expected to benefit from the new regulations, aiming to close the gap to the dominant McLaren.
Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur hinted at improved performance due to the changes, emphasizing their potential impact on race weekends.
Hamilton criticized the unnecessary expenses incurred by teams for new wings under the rule, advocating for better use of resources, potentially for charitable purposes.
