Lewis Hamilton says the British Grand Prix shows F1 still has the ability to deliver exciting races in its current format.
The state of the sport has been the centre of debate again this season, with the FIA exploring "several exciting and innovative changes" to the race weekend format. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says the sport is "at a critical stage", but FIA president Jean Todt has been keen to play down the issues, saying F1 is facing "a headache, not a cancer".
After winning an enthralling British Grand Prix, Hamilton says the race is a reminder of how good the racing can still be given the right circumstances.
"It was exciting for me," Hamilton said. "I think the start really made it exciting, obviously. I don’t know how the rest of the race went but you say it was very exciting. I think the English weather helped with that.
"I think there’s still some things... their views are probably still valid in many ways but also sometimes I guess it’s a bit of an indication for us not to throw our toys out of the pram and say everything’s wrong, that we’re not too far off the mark, hopefully and hope that we have more races like this."
