Lewis Hamilton felt one thing lacking in the recent talks between the FIA and F1 over changing the technical regulations was the voice of the drivers.
Hamilton demanded that drivers be given "a seat at the table" in future talks, but as they are not "stakeholders", they do not currently receive a vote on the F1 Commission.
After somewhat a somewhat frosty relationship in recent years between the FIA and F1, there has been a thawing with all of the drivers speaking out how well the collaborations have been over the rules - but do you agree with Hamilton's stance?
