Lewis Hamilton ‘trusts’ FIA over Spa F1 safety concerns: ‘It’s not my job to decide…’
We🐼t weather is expected to impact all three days of running at the legendary Spa-Franc🅷orchamps circuit.
As a result, concerns over safety have been a major talking point on Thursday, particularly after th🌟e death of Dutch junior driver Dilano van 't Hoff earlier this month at Spa.
Speaking in the FIA press conference, Hamilton was asked for his thoughts about potential safety concerns at the Belgian circuit this🏅 weekend.&nb🌠sp;
“It’s not something I eve🌺r think of,” Hamilton saidཧ. “As a driver, it’s not something you can ever let enter your mind.
“I trust 🍌what the FIA are do🎉ing. We wouldn’t be here if they didn’t think we’d be safe.
“I trust in them, as they’ve done such incredi𒅌ble work over the past couple of decade, to make the right decisions.”
There has been some calls from drivers to make significant modifications to the Spa c✃ircuit, notably the opening sequence of corners at Eau Roug♓e and the Kemmel Straight.
The incident which led to Van ‘t💮 Hoff’s death, and F2 driver Anthonie Hubert’s in 2019, happened at a similar part of the track.
“I love the track the 🐼way it is,” he added. “I don’t know what to say.
“It’s not myജ job to decide what needs to be changed or how it should be changed.
“That’s why we have good people to be able to do that🌺 job.”
