F1 | Mercedes, Hamilton attacks: "It's ridiculous to only be able to use three power units per season"

A few days before the last Canadian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton spoke about the power unit situation, underlining how the new unit limit introduced this year is a real guillotine for the show on the track. Each driver, we remember, can mount a maximum of three power units during the season, with the number of some components even dropping to two (for example the electronic control unit. Ed.).

These posts, according to the reigning Mercedes World Champion, do not allow drivers to push during the various Grands Prix of the championship, forcing them to race carefully and without attacks. A certainly wrong path that is not leading to anything good.

Here are the words of Lewis Hamilton: “I hope the number of power units does not drop to 2 next season. It would all become so ridiculous! It was much nicer when we could use more engines."

“Today the championship is played on the reliability of the components and very few people like this. The fans want duels and attacks on the track and with the new rules this is not easy. This road sport taking a wrong turn”he concluded.
