Lewis Hamilton, the Ferrari champion, has ignited a firestorm in the Formula 1 world with his scathing criticism of the recent flexi-wing rules. Following the qualifying session in Barcelona, Hamilton did not hold back, declaring the new regulations a complete waste of money that ultimately made no difference on the track.
The Formula 1 community had been eagerly anticipating the impact of the stricter front wing flex tests at the Spanish Grand Prix, hoping it would level the playing field and challenge the dominance of McLaren. However, to the disappointment of many, the changes seemed to have had little to no effect as the Woking-based team continued their reign by securing the front row at the Circuit de Catalunya.
Hamilton went as far as suggesting that the funds allocated to implement these rules would have been better utilized if donated to charity, emphasizing his belief that the modifications did not achieve their intended purpose.
The racing world now stands divided as Hamilton’s bold statements spark debates and controversies across the paddock. With tensions rising and rivalries deepening, the upcoming races promise to deliver even more drama and excitement as teams strive to outperform each other on the track.
