## Resource

Lewis Hamilton is furious about Formula 1’s overreliance on complex software, arguing it’s stifling driver skill by forcing them to manage energy systems instead of pure speed. He cites a recent race where a software glitch cost him three-tenths of a second, and recalls a time when racing was about raw talent—not tech. With the championship in his sights, Hamilton demands the sport return to rewarding drivers for their ability to drive fast, not just manage computers.
