Lewis Hamilton believes Formula 1 drive🌜rs should be “massively depleted” following race🌳s and wants cars to be harder to drive from 2021.

Five-time world champion Hamilton, who claimed his third victory of the season in the Spanish Grand P𝔍rix to take the lead of the championship from Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas, has called for chan🅷ges to make the sport more physical in future.

Hamilton sugg🐈ested one way to make F1 cars more difficult to drive would be to remove power꧟ steering.

"Drug testing is random, I would say it is around three times🐼 a year maybe or maybe less,” Hamilton explained when ask💙ed about how often drivers are drug tested.

“There used to be a point where there was quite a bit o🌠f testing away from the ♋track, back home or in hotels, that sort of thing. But honestly, this is not a sport where you need to do anything.

“It is not like in cycling where you need more blood flowi🐻ng through the heart or more oxygen. We are not fatiguing. In all honesty, the cars are not hard enough to drive.

“It should be more physical. I think in 2021, they♓ maybe need to get rid of power steering, for exampౠle. We should be massively depleted afterwards. That's how sport should be.”

Hamilton compared F1 to other sports such as tennis💫 and cycling and feels F1 drivers should be visibly exhausted at the conclusion of a grand prix.

"Teജnnis players are finished at the end of the game, especially after multiple hours, and cyclists, they should be dead after the Tour de🔥 France - I feel that is what we should be about.

“But it is less so these days and that’s why an 18-ye𒀰ar-old can come in and have no problems, but I think it should be the case. The point is, none of us have been cheating.

“💦There is no point cheating or doing anything to enhance our bodies. It's just training normally and being healthy.”
