Reigning Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton is getting himself prepared for the upcoming season by running through the rain. The British driver has spoken about his high fitness levels in the past and how they improve his performance come race weekends.

Getting older

Hamilton starts the season as a 35-year-old. He is expected to sign a two-year contract extension with Mercedes which will see him through until he turns 38 in January 2023. During the winter, he has spoken about how fresh he feels. He believes some of this is down to his new vegan diet.

Working towards being the best you, is a mission with a combination of many factors. The mind, body and spirit need to be aligned, focus is essential but it can be hard to do with distractions. Set yourself goals and targets and set them high. I am constantly working on myself, trying to raise the bar each time. I am also trying to make sure to surround myself with people I genuinely love and care about that only add to my life. Let’s keep pushing ourselves and those that are around us. If I can do it I know you can, we can do it together teamLH. #letsgo
