For Hamilton, the new rules are positive
For a Max Verstappen nauseated by F1 2026, there is a Lewis Hamilton instead who is ‘crazy’ about this generation of cars regarding on-track duels. The Ferrari driver during the Chinese GP battled several times with teammate Charles Leclerc, a battle defined as “great” that ended without collisions to the amazement of George Russell.

“It is very simple to follow the car ahead closely – Hamilton explained in the press conference at the end of the Chinese GP – the situation compared to past years is significantly better. It doesn’t create dirty air that makes you lose too much downforce. I believe it is the best ‘racing’ I have ever experienced in F1“.
“In the car it was fantastic – Hamilton added regarding the duel with Leclerc – it felt like being on a go-kart, overtaking and counter-overtaking, you could position the car optimally, sometimes not even a sheet of paper could fit between us. This is what happens when great drivers battle while respecting each other”.
