Lewis Hamilton pitched his idea for a "switch-up" of the Formula One weekend format after Shanghai's Friday practice was limited to just 20 minutes due to weather conditions, something he thinks could be a "blessing in disguise" if it forces a change to be made.
Hamilton turned fan entertainer on Friday afternoon after heavy fog limited the day's practice sessions to just 20 minutes, all of which took place in FP1. FP2 did not run at all, with the low visibility meaning the medical helicopter would not have been able to land at the nearest hospital if it had been required.
