Speaking in the♚ FIA press conference, Hamilton was asked for his thoughts about potential safety concerns at the Belgian circuit this weekend.
“It’s not something I ever think of,” Hami💜lton said. “As a driver, it’s not something you can ever let enter 🐻your mind.
“I trust what the FIA 𓆉are doing. We wouldn’t be here if they didn’t think we’d be safe.
“I trust in them, as they’ve done such incredible work over the past couple of decade, to make the right de🍬c🅰isions.”
There has b🦂een some calls from drivers to make significant modifications to the Spa circuit, notably the opening sequence of corners at Eau Rouge and the Kemm🅘el Straight.

“I love the track the way it is,” 💧he added. “I don’t know what to say.
“It’s not my job to decide what needs to be chang𓆏ed or how it should be changed.
🥂“That’s why we have good peoplꦅe to be able to do that job.”
