If doubt could creep into the heads of some after the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton will not have let it spread for long, confirming its presence and participation in the Canadian Grand Prix in a few days. The Briton complained of intense back pain in Baku on the sidelines of the race, because of the famous porpoising which Mercedes has difficulty extricating himself.

“Yesterday was tough, I had trouble sleeping but I woke up feeling positive today, he explains in a story published via his Instagram account. My back is a little sore and bruised, but nothing serious. »

“I did acupuncture and physiotherapy with [Angela Cullen, her physiotherapist] and I'm on my way to my team to work with them to improve the situation. We must continue to fight. There is no time like the present to come together and we will. I'll be there this weekend, I wouldn't miss it for anything. »

After an intense weekend in Baku concluded in fourth place for Lewis Hamilton, the F1 is heading to Montreal this week, for the big return of the Canadian round to the calendar after two years of absence. A land that the Briton knows well, having scored his first success in the premier category there, just fifteen years ago.
