The ide🔯a has been mooted before, most notably from fellow Sky pundit Karun Chandhok, to stop one-stop races.

Many fans alike feel like one-stop races🤡 are boring and mandating the use of all three dry tyre compounds would add e♓xcitement. 

O💃ne concern about the change is that eventually teams would work out the optimal strategy or simply 🔜stop in the final laps to ensure they follow the rule.

Regardless, Hill feels like it would be a good chang🦩e for the🌟 sport.

“I think there is definitely an argument to say that if you are going 🃏to look for excitement and a little bit mor♕e of a challenge, then why not?" Hill told the .

“I think it is a good idea. I have heard it put forward before, it would increase the number🍨 of pit stops so you get less of the one-stop factor.

“It❀'s quite interesting that we have got to the stage where Max has built a gap in the last race we had in Belgium and Lewis built a gap enough to be able t😼o come in for a new set of tyres and get the fastest lap and get a point - that's a bit of drama that at first was thought to be a gimmick but now teams are deciding it is important to have that.

“They want to have that scalp and so they come in and do the one-lap s๊top and that is a bit of drama at the end of the rac🅰e

“ཧHaving to use all three compounds would throw another challenge in there, so it is possibly a good thing.”
