Lewis Hamilton demands F1 rule-change as Max Verstappen retorts: “Life is unfair, deal with it”
Red Bull have won all eight races so far this season and have not looked under threat of losing their impressive unbea🙈ten record at the start of the 2023 campaign.
Verstappen has already built up a 69-point lead over teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez, with Aston Martin’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso a further nine points behind.
Seven-time world champion Hamilt▨on, who finished runner-up to Verstappen in Australia and Spain, wants a new rule on 🔯car development in the wake of Red Bull’s domination.
“The car is moving i▨n the right direction,” Hamilton told Sky on Thursday ahead ofꦉ the Austrian Grand Prix.
“I think ultimately it's likely that bit by bi𝓰t at the end of the year we will probably catch Red Bull, but that's probably becꦛause they are already focusing on next year's car.
"They'r෴e so far ahead, they don't have to make any changes to this car anymore as they're so far ahead.
"I think the FIA should probably put a time when everyone𓆉 is allowed to start developing on next year's car. Say August 1, that's where everybody can start so that no one can get an advantage ღon the next year, cause that sucks.
"It would make more sense. They should. Say for examplඣe you start the season and you know you have a bad car, you can just say I'm not going to bother developing this car and put all this money into next year﷽'s car and have an advantage.”
When it was put to Hamilton that Mercedes were also able to enjoy a🍃 similar development advantage during 🀅their own dominant spell at the top of F1, he responded: ”We never started as early as them.
"It needs to change because that's why you have dominance for so lo💯ng and they keep allowing it to happen. Ferrari was ahead and the same thing happened there, the same with Red Bull and Seb [Vettel] back in the day, they start ear🦩lier so they're always ahead."
Two-time world champion Verstappen appeared to dismiss Hamilton’s compღlaint in a blunt retort.
Asked for his reaction to Ha💞milton’s suggestion in the FIA press conference♐, Verstappen said: “Life is unfair as well.
“Itꦐ’s not only i🍎n F1. A lot of things in life are unfair so we just have to deal with it.”
