Lewis Hamilton makes Canadian Grand Prix decision amid battle with back agony

Lewis Hamilton has reassured fans he will be able to race at this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix.

The Briton was left in agony after Sunday's race in Baku, with porpoising causing his back to slam into the ground repeatedly throughout the Grand Prix. He struggled to get out of his car after, and later said the pain was "100 times worse" than it had looked.
