Former world champion and current Sky Sports F1 pundit Damon Hill took to Twitter to complain about the dominance of teams like Ferrari and Mercedes, causing him to get into a back-and-forth with the latter team.

Hill initially gave his take on Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff, who said that it's possible that Ferrari and Mercedes break from the F1 into a new racing category.

The sooner @MercedesAMGF1 and @ScuderiaFerrari breakaway the better as far as I’m concerned. These massive industrial complexes are ruining the sport. They don’t want to play. They want it all, and all the time. The @fia have lost grip of @F1 @SkySportsF1 #f1
