Lewis Hamilton suggests more pitstops will help improve the quality of Formula 1 racing. He urges fans to vote for more pitstops to increase the excitement in the sport. 

Hamilton went on to claim this weekends race will be a one-stop race. He took a dig at Pirelli in his interview with race fans. 

“They’ve got the ultra-soft – which is soft – and then super-soft and soft. They all seem pretty much the same tyre, there’s not a big difference between them all,” claims Hamilton. 

“It’s an unexciting one-stop race most likely. But if you’re a fan and you want more stops vote for it, make some noise, I’m sure F1 will take the peer pressure.”

Fans have recently had the chance to fill in a questionnaire as Formula 1 bosses look to gather information. Whilst on the fans side, Hamilton insisted that F1 should make teams run on similar fuels level in practice to give better indications to fans. 

“They should change the rule – another rule they should change – and make everyone use the same damn fuel loads. Because for the fans for sure it must be confusing. You don’t know why we are the quickest, you don’t know why Ferraris are that far off,” added Hamilton.
