Hamilton: Teams should have no say in F1's rules

LE CASTELLET, France -- Lewis Hamilton says F1's current rule-making process is flawed as it allows teams to be involved in key decisions about its future.

Hamilton won his fifth race of the current campaign on Sunday at a dull French Grand Prix low on entertainment. The result extended his lead in the championship to 36 points but after the race he was defending himself from suggestions his dominance of F1 is boring.

The five-time world champion has recently taken an active role in helping F1 shape its future, attending a 2021 rules summit in Paris earlier this month, where all 10 teams were present along with F1 chiefs and the FIA, racing's governing body.
