Lewis Hamilton unhappy with rule-makers as Nico Rosberg cruises to fifth victory

Lewis Hamilton has accused Formula One’s rule-makers of making the sport “dangerous” after the recently-introduced radio ban hampered his fightback in yesterday’s European Grand Prix.

Hamilton, who finished only fifth on the sport’s inaugural visit to Azerbaijan, reported a lack of power with his Mercedes from as early as lap four.

But after the FIA, the sport’s governing body, introduced a new set of radio regulations on the eve of the new campaign - in the hope of placing more emphasis on the driver rather than the pit wall - Mercedes were forbidden from informing Hamilton how to resolve the problem.
