F1 LIVE: Hamilton and Red Bull spark war of words as Verstappen shows true colours | F1 | Sport

Lewis Hamilton has admitted that he would like to see changes made to the new tyre allocation rules, with the Brit keen on reducing the number of wet tyres carried by each team.

A new tyre allocation was the talk of the paddock after practice with drivers having a reduced 11 sets over the weekend from 13 in a bid to reduce usage.

There will also be a test format in qualifying later today, with drivers forced to use hard tyres in Q1, mediums in Q2 and soft tyres in Q3.

He told Sky Sports: “We only had one tyre for this session. This change is not a great format for this weekend.

“It just means we get less running, not ideal. There are a lot of wet tyres they throw away after every weekend.

“Maybe they should look at something like that rather than taking time on track away from fans.”
