via the-race.comF1 rejects Hamilton's idea for managing dangerous Baku closing speedsLewis Hamilton's proposal to modify energy management rules at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix was dismissed by Formula 1 teams. The suggestion came after a near-miss incident with Liam Lawson during practice, highlighting the dangers posed by the current rules that lead to significant speed differentials between drivers on out laps and those on timed runs.
