Lewis Hamilton's had enough of tracks where you simply can't race. The seven-time world champion didn't hold back after the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, taking aim at the people designing Formula 1 circuits that make overtaking nearly impossible. Standing in front of a roaring Baku crowd, Hamilton made it crystal clear he doesn't understand how these layouts even get approved in the first place.

Hamilton was blunt about his frustrations. 'They are making some of these tracks where you just cannot overtake,' he said, even throwing in a dismissive hand gesture for good measure. 'I don't know who is designing them, but...' He then turned it around on the crowd, asking if anyone there reckoned they could do a better job. The response was immediate, with the Baku fans loving his honesty. Hamilton wrapped it up by admitting he doesn't have a filter, and honestly, the fans weren't complaining.

The Baku weekend had been rough for Hamilton at Ferrari. He crossed the line in sixth place, and the lack of overtaking opportunities meant he was stuck there. He also pointed to Ferrari's power disadvantage compared to some rivals, explaining that he had to defend into corners where he normally wouldn't need to. 'For me, all weekend, it was switching the tyres on,' Hamilton explained. 'I don't think I ever really got the tyres to switch on.' It's been a tough stretch for the Scuderia since the summer break, and Hamilton's sitting third in the championship, now 103 points back from leader Kimi Antonelli.

Hamilton's comments tap into something F1 fans have been saying for years. Some modern circuits just don't produce the kind of racing we want to see. Baku's a stunning city and the track's got character, but it's notoriously difficult for passing. If even a seven-time world champion is frustrated enough to call out the designers on national television, you know there's a real issue worth discussing.
