Lewis Hamilton's life being made "easier" as Red Bull chief demands F1 rule change

Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko made a strange claim about Lewis Hamilton as he called for Formula 1 drivers to be banned from receiving instructions from race engineers in the middle of a race.

The Austrian clearly is not a fan of too much information being given to racers in the thick of the action. As it stands, engineers are able to provide drivers with a wide range of information about their cars and their rivals, helping them to better manage their race.

Marko feels this makes things too simple for drivers in the modern era. While he has no problem with racers being able to relay information back to the team, the 79-year-old called for a ban of race engineers being able to reply, advocating for a one-way channel to be introduced.
