Hamilton Urges FIA: Prevent Red Bull's Supremacy Lockdown for 2024 F1 season
Oct.21 - Lewis Hamilton has called on the FIA to help ensure Red Bull's dominance doesn't become locked in for the next several years.
With Max Verstappen having wrapped up his third consecutive drivers' title early and in an unprecedentedly-dominant style, attention is now turning to whether Red Bull's rivals can close the big gap for 2024.
Former F1 team owner and boss Eddie Jordan told his own podcast Formula For Success: "We cycle a lot together, and Adrian (Newey) tells me that he feels that the evolution of what they've got at the moment is going to be so difficult for anyone to catch up with.
"So please, folks out there, prepare yourself either for a boring time or an exciting time, depending on whether you're a Red Bull fan or not."
Lewis Hamilton thinks it's critical that Formula 1 makes some moves to bring Red Bull closer to the pack.
"I think you've seen the social engagement drop a huge amount this year," said the Mercedes driver. "I think, within our sport, we have to continue to work on making sure we're having close racing.
"It (Verstappen's dominance) has obviously heavily impacted on competition. But it's what people want to see.
"So, we have to make sure that we're making the right decisions, or the governing body is making the right decisions, to keep us close and with great racing right to the end," the seven time world champion added.
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, however, has ruled out any artificial or 'balance of performance' moves to kerb Red Bull's speed.
"It's not rush to punish success," he said.
"I'm open to suggestions if you think of a fair and democratic way, but not just to punish Max and his team. But we're all ears, really.
"But there's no way the FIA will punish success, so I'm stuck like you."

Yes Lulu, exactly like you did for your team when they where too good. You beg for the FIA to stop Merc.
Poor LITTLE cry Baby.
Pathetic Laura
Is that your best shot KKK shoddypost.
There is no need to waste a good shot on that one. Loulou is being so self centered it's not worth commenting.
What an asshole.
And thats why he wants the social media-- he owns the rights to the pics took of him and whoever prints has to pay, What he means is his income for social media is down
Lewis let’s pretend you aren’t a blooming idiot. Where was this great insight when you won 6 championship for 6 years in a row? Excuse me but your arrogance is getting in the way of your brain power. Just retire, lose your public relation team and go. You are embarrassing yourself more than ever.
If Lewis is embarrassing himself it dos’nt say much for the rest who were all at least twice as far behind Max in the sprint. If Lewis retires the gap between Max and the rest will be even bigger and the racing even more boring.
It seems to me that Lewis is eminently sensible, he has previously said that the teams should strive to catch up with RB from a sporting point of view and is now saying that from a commercial point of view something needs to be done to maintain the fans interest. How difficult is that to understand? I don’t think it is Lewis that is embarrassing himself, at least he is not pontificating about silly books on a F1 site.
cheers
well said
During the offseason, Lewis should take the time and read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It could explsin a lot.
Are you sure that Loulou knows how to read?
I’m sure he does, he wouldn’t miss an opportunity to read his fan mail from his sychophants, I mean his fans.

Shut your pie hole hammy. Your hypocrisy and pettiness is pathetic. Sure didnt hear him whining when he lucked into the dominate car for 8 years did we. Like Ive said you put Vettel in hammys car from 2014 to 2020 and Seb's an 11 time WDC and hammys just another also ran with 1 WDC.
That's rich coming from a guy who won 6 WCs in a row.
Lulu has always regarded himself to be in a special class of drivers. Only what he says should be listened to. The FIA bows to his every whim. Rules really don’t apply to him. Think he is taking the knighthood a little too far. Thought only Kings and Queens were destined by God, guess not!
This Lulu should take his pacifier, a cuddly pillow, shut up and sleep in the remotest corner of the race track under a willow tree.
