Formula 1 team bosses have responded to Lewis Hamilton's claims that the sport is too easy for drivers in its current state.
The reigning champion believes that the 2019 cars are too easy to drive and that it was no longer difficult for drivers to finish races. Toro Rosso team principal Franz Tost believes that the reason is down to the supreme fitness regimes drivers employed to stay competitive.
"In my opinion, the current level of the drivers from the fitness side is the highest I’ve ever seen in Formula One," he told Montreal radio station 98.5 FM.
"You must not forget that we now have drivers who started motor sport when they were six or seven years old.
Haas team principal Gunther Steiner added to the discussion, joking that drivers should be banned from going to the gym in an effort to save costs of developing more difficult cars.
"Or we could ban the drivers from going to the fitness studios as Franz said, so they will be tired at the end of the race. It would be a lot cheaper. And to eat fast foods all the time!" The Haas boss pointed out.
"No, without joking, I think Franz explained it very well: the fitness level is just so high and the cars are so sophisticated so it’s just getting better and it’s evolution.
"It isn’t that they are easy to drive, we are just so well prepared – they are so well prepared altogether. That is why they now complain about it."
