Seven-time world champion and British driver for Scuderia Ferrari HP, Lewis Hamilton, has voiced his concerns regarding the FIA’s tightening of regulations on flexible wings in Formula 1.
The flexi-wings, it was a positive when it came about, some teams were quick to adapt it, some teams were very slow to adapt it. It's been a positive. I remember when I was at Mercedes and we got it last year around this time and it was a positive for us. Some people had it earlier, some people had it later. It made this generation of car much nicer to drive - so it's going in the wrong direction, that's for sure. It will be interesting to see how that affects different teams.
On March 26, FIA’s single-seater director Nikolas Tombazis commented to Motorsport-Total that several Formula 1 teams modified their cars post the Chinese Grand Prix due to new directives tightening checks on rear wings.
The 40-year-old Englishman has been racing for the Italian team Ferrari since the 2025 season. Following the first eight rounds of the current season, Hamilton has 63 points and sits in sixth place in the overall standings.
On May 16, Hamilton expressed in an interview that he remains hopeful for Ferrari to win the Constructors’ Cup by the end of the season, despite being significantly behind the leading McLaren-Mercedes team. The Italian team is currently in fourth place with 142 points.
