Lewis Hamilton issues ‘work with us’ plea to FIA over F1 changes

Lewis Hamilton has publicly called on the FIA to give Formula 1 drivers a direct role in rule-making discussions, stating that drivers currently lack 'a seat at the table' as non-stakeholders. His comments came ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, where several regulatory tweaks had been introduced following criticism of the first three rounds of the 2026 season. Hamilton acknowledged that drivers engage with both the FIA and Formula 1 but stressed that meaningful inclusion in decision-making needs to change.
