Lewis Hamilton repeats calls for transparency amid Red Bull cost cap breach – as Brit reveals he has no plans to retire

LEWIS HAMILTON has repeated his calls for the FIA to act with transparency in their punishment for Red Bull after breaking F1’s cost-cap.

Red Bull are at loggerheads with the FIA over their breach of the rules for spending over the £114million limit last year as Max Verstappen pipped Hamilton to the title.

But the Mercedes man says FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem cannot let off Red Bull with just a “slap on the wrists”.

He said: “I do believe that Mohammed and his team will make the right decisions.

“I have to believe that. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt.

“I’m generally looking forward. I’m looking at winning another championship.

“I have my own opinions of what we did as a team and how we did it last year and I’m really proud of that and believe in what we learned.

“It doesn’t really change a huge amount. I do think the sport needs to do something about it in the future.

“Otherwise, if they’re relaxed with these rules then all the teams would just go over and spend millions more and then only having a slap on the wrist.

“That would not be great for the sport.

“We’re going to continue coming up against things and hurdles.

“Integrity is how we navigate through those while keeping the core values while being transparent and being true to the values of what the sport and regulations are there to to be policed.”
