F1 7 TIME CHAMPION SIR LEWIS HAMILTON WANTS MORE STREET CIRCUITS

Formula 1 legend Sir Lewis Hamilton wants more street circuits for the up coming Grand Prix races.

This year the Miami circuit was a success just lime Baku, Singapore and Monaco.

Next season will see the Las Vegas circuit in action as F1 is looking for new racing venues to excite the fans.

"I'm a bit old-school.

"So of course I love the history, particularly at certain circuits, but the older I get the more I realise it's about the people.

"We could go to the middle of nowhere that has very few people, not great accommodation, not great community and for us as individuals driving on the track that's historic is cool - but it's about the people.

"And the people do really make it. We've experienced with the pandemic, nobody being in there and that's just no atmosphere. It was like a test day. It was not enjoyable. And now we are seeing hundreds of thousands of people turn up to the race energised, excited, keen to learn more.
