Hamilton not in line with proposals for 2017
Modifications such as the increase in the weight of single-seaters presented by the FIA for 2017 are not necessarily to the taste of Lewis Hamilton.
Three-time world champion Lewis Hamilton did not immediately get back behind the wheel of his Mercedes W07 Hybrid this morning, the star team modifying its program to spare its drivers. The Briton regained his place in the afternoon to finish with 88 laps on the clock and the eighth cumulative time this Wednesday.
Hamilton also spoke about recent proposals unveiled following Commission meetings F1 held yesterday in Geneva, Switzerland. The technical changes that could happen for the 2017 single-seaters are not necessarily satisfactory for the former driver McLaren, notably the potential increase in mass.
“They were great at 600 kilos, nice and agile, and it was easier on the tires and you had less tire problems,” commented Hamilton, quoted by Sky Sports. The more you weigh the car, the more forces are exerted on the tires and the tires behave less well. »
Discussions continue behind the scenes to definitively agree on technical regulations for 2017.
