In conclusion, Hamilton has many favorite tracks, but the top two can be considered the ones in Montreal and Silverstone.
Lewis Hamilton feels AI should be implemented by FIA to help decide penalties
After Max Verstappen was not penalized for impeding on several occasions at the Singapore GP, Lewis Hamilton gave his thoughts on how the FIA could start using AI to help them decide penalties.
When Motorsport Network asked whether he was surprised by the stewards’ response on Verstappen not getting penalized, the Mercedes driver said:
“Not really. How many years have we…. That rule has been the same for ages, you know? I think we need to start looking into AI for this sort of thing, so we get good decisions. I would like to see whether AI could do a better job or not.”

Though AI could help the stewards in some ways, there are no signs or hints from FIA that they will be implementing it in their system.
