Several Formula One teams have had to deal with problems this season. This has caused Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, among others, to make comments about their physical condition, but David Coulthard shows no regrets for the two drivers.
As a former Formula 1 driver, Coulthard knows better than anyone what it takes to be active in the category. According to the analyst, the sport may be physically demanding, but there is no point in complaining. He said in an interview with Channel 4.
"I think we have to keep in perspective that the sport doesn't come with princesses and pea mattresses," Coulthard judged harshly. "This is where certain teams are, and there will be evolution, but for the most part they should just deal with it."
Last week, the FIA issued a guideline to reduce quiques in Formula One. The organization pointed out that the phenomenon in motorsport would cause unsafe situations, so it had to intervene to prevent risky situations.
Hamilton announced after his third-place finish in Canada that he still suffers from quiques and therefore believes that more should be done to solve the problem. However, he also stressed that his team also has a responsibility to work hard on this.
