168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton wants to see ꦕchanges which will stop drivers dive-bombing into apexes.

The brazen manoeuvre happened last week in Mexico and became part of a wider discussion about how to interpret F1’s guidelines.

This weeꦍkend Hamilton returns to the Sao Paulo Grand Prix where, three years ago, he was pushed off-track by Max Versta𓂃ppen in a similar fashion to last week’s controversy involving Lando Norris.

“Performance-wise, we've been a bit in No Man's Land, so we're not really receiving too much from behin𝓡d or we're not really attacking too many at the 🍒front,” Hamilton said of his Mercedes’ competitiveness.

“So ꧑the rules are still the same as th⛄ey were back in 2021.

“So what we saౠw in 2021 with myself and Max is still happening today and will continue until perhaps they make a change.

“And also, the tracks, with all the run-off areas, don't help. If it was gravel or grass, they wouldn't be going al🍸l the way out there.

“So it'll be interestinꦍg to see the development. Hopefully they'll make some changesꦐ for next year.”

Verstappen was penalised twi🐭ce last weekend at the Mexico City Grand Prix for his clashes with title rival Norris.

The ౠdriving style of the Red Bull star has been under scrutiny all week since.

Hamilton might not be in the championship battle this season but h🐈e assessed the scrap between Verstappen and No⛦rris.

“I think it's really exciting fo🧔r the sportꦯ, firstly,” he said.

“The last couple of years, not necessarily 🧸so exciting, obviously, with Max just leading the way, and that sometimes happens.

“But I think it's been really exciting for the fans to see that it can go right down to the wire at the en✨d of the year.

“There's still a possibility of Lando catching up. He's got to get 11 points more or something in each race or🌼 something over these next races, which is definitely possible with the performance they have.

“We all know Max and his strengths and can't really🤡 say too many weaknesses, if any.

“And you've got, obviously, Lando, who's really risen to the occasion and has been really le♉ading the team.

“I haven't really spent too 🔴much time looking at how they're racing and how they're positioning the cars.

“Obviously, everyone knows what happened in the last race or the last two races, 🌳but everyone will have an opinion on it.

“But at the end of the day, those two are the drivers. They know what they're🐷 doing.

“I'm really excited to see what happens over th💯ese next races. I'm just hoping that I can at least have a good seat view to watch it all as they'll be ahead.”
