Lewis Hamilton shares gruelling regime to get over Mercedes bouncing for Canadian GP

Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton has revealed the recovery regime he is committed to grinding through in order to overcome back pain to be fit for this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix.

The seven-time world champion struggled with major back discomfort at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku last weekend, with the Brit struggling to exit his car as he was in visible physical pain after finishing P4. Hamilton’s injury largely came about due to his Mercedes W13’s porpoising.

The octuple world champions have struggled with severe porpoising as their cars have been bouncing uncontrollably following the new regulations and car designs implemented for the 2022 season. The porpoising issues have plagued the early rounds of the 2022 season for Mercedes, as neither Hamilton nor teammate Russell have been able to truly compete with the likes of Ferrari and Red Bull due to the uncontrollable rattling of their car.
