Lewis Hamilton has hit out at proposals to outlaw tyre blankets, branding it both "dangerous" and "pointless" after being one of the drivers involved in no-blanket testing.
Formula 1 are considering banning tyre blankets in a move to increase sustainability and reduce costs as teams use a huge amount of energy to heat a car's tyres in a bid to increase grip ahead of each race, or before they leave the pits.
Ahead of a potential vote on outlawing tyre blankets, Hamilton has been among the drivers completing dry weather no-blanket running for the sport's official tyre supplier Pirelli and he believes a ban would put driver's lives at risk.
