Story summary
  • Lewis Hamilton urged F1 to give drivers a seat at the table in rule-making before the Miami GP.
  • He said drivers are consulted but lack influence over key rules such as the 2026 energy-management system, noting that the GPDA, which runs a WhatsApp group, has acted only as a safety union.
  • Max Verstappen said earlier driver input could have avoided the anti-racing problems with the V6 hybrid turbo cars.
