Lewis Hamilton has criticised the 2026 power unit regulations after Spa exposed how quickly the batteries run dry. "If you deploy in Spa from Turn 1 to 5, it is finito for the rest of the lap," Hamilton said. "And with no deployment at all, we cannot forget that this year we have significantly less power than last year and less power than F2." He said the cars are "just not good on the straights" but "through the corners, the cars are great." πΈπ° via PlanetF1, Motorsport Week
