Lewis Hamilton adds voice to call to spice up F1

Lewis Hamilton has backed Bernie Ecclestone’s call for changes to be made to Formula One’s regulations in a bid to spice up the sport.

In an interview aired on German TV earlier this week, Ecclestone was highly critical of the state of grand prix racing.

Ecclestone, who turns 85 next week, went on to describe the sport which he promotes around the world, as an “engineer’s championship”, said the rulebook needs to be “torn up and rewritten” and concluded that Hamilton has been “given a hell of a lot of help” as he closes in on a third world title.
