Lewis Hamilton has once again voiced his strong disapproval of the FIA’s recent actions, particularly in relation to the controversial disqualification of both himself and teammate Charles Leclerc at the Chinese Grand Prix. The disqualifications were due to technical infringements concerning car floor wear and weight regulations. Hamilton expressed his frustration, stating that the FIA’s selective enforcement of rules undermines the integrity of the sport.
Ferrari’s team principal, Fred Vasseur, also criticized the FIA’s handling of the situation, highlighting that only four cars were subjected to post-race checks, raising concerns about fairness and transparency. He described the FIA’s actions as “manipulative” and called for a more consistent and equitable approach to rule enforcement.
This incident adds to a series of tensions between Hamilton and the FIA, including previous disputes over radio message censorship and perceived double standards in penalty applications. Hamilton has been vocal about the need for drivers to have a more significant role in discussions with the FIA, advocating for reforms to ensure fairness and accountability within the sport.
As the season progresses, these ongoing issues may continue to impact the relationship between drivers, teams, and the governing body, potentially influencing future regulations and race outcomes.
