Lewis Hamilton lost two kilograms after the first day of practice ahead of the inaugural Miami Grand Prix.
All the drivers in Sunday’s 57-lap race are bracing themselves for some of the most testing conditions likely to be witnessed during the 2022 F1 season, with temperatures expected to climb above the mid-thirties.
“The race is going to be really tough,” declared Hamilton. “I’ve already lost a couple of kilos in one day. The heat reminds me a little bit of driving in Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur is still number one in terms of the heat, then Singapore, and now here in Miami.”
