Hamilton laughs at Red Bull’s moaning

Defending world champion Lewis Hamilton has said that Red Bull’s demands that Formula 1 rules should be changed are ‘laughable’.

The former champions believe that Mercedes are too dominant at the front and rules should be changed to make it more competitive.

Hamilton told reporters: "I find it quite funny. It's an interesting opinion coming from an individual who has had so much success.

"Also bear in mind it has only been one race, so to already have comments like that is what I find funny. It was a big step for me to come to this team who had had so many years of poor performance

"They hadn't had the success of other teams but not once did this team complain to others in order to legalise things. They just worked hard. When I came to this team, I saw them making that progress and now we are the best team. They have done an amazing job.

"It's not just me here, it's 1000 people back at the two factories working day and night to build the best car. We have done that based on the same rules that everyone else has had and the same resources as the other top teams have generally had and we can be proud of that. It's a funny situation."

Hamilton and his team-mate, Nico Rosberg, are the overwhelming favourites to win this weekend’s Malaysian Grand Prix.
