Montreal: Lewis Hamilton on Thursday welcomed Formula One's plan for lighter more agile cars, but believes the sport's ruling body has not gone far enough in reducing their weight.
The seven-time champion said it was a "step in the right direction" as he responded to questions about the planned new regulations to be used from 2026 at a news conference on the eve of this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix.
"It's only 30 kilos (66 lbs) so it's going in the right direction but it's still heavy," Hamilton said. "So, I mean I've only just seen what you've all seen this morning.
"I don't really have huge thoughts on it just yet, but I have spoken to some drivers who have driven it on a sim (simulator), as I haven't driven it on the sim, and they said it's pretty slow.
"So, we will see whether it's actually the right direction or not."
