Jackie Stewart in agreement with Lewis Hamilton as he demands F1 change - "That's wrong"

Jackie Stewart has backed up Lewis Hamilton by urging F1 bosses to give greater power to the Grand Prix Drivers' Association.

Three-time world champion Stewart is a former President of the GPDA, that was founded in 1961 with the aim of improving safety standards in the sport. The group famously instigated a driver's strike at the 1982 South African Grand Prix before disbanding, but reformed after the deaths of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.

Hamilton, recently asked for GPDA members to be more involved in the decision making in F1, saying: "We have a responsibility, we have a great platform, each and every one of us, collectively, and there are lots of things F1 has to push forward on action-wise. It says we are doing a lot of things, sustainability and all of those things, but we need to make sure we are pushing through and doing our absolute best and maybe the GPDA can have a role in that."
