P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Lewis Hamilton’s former trainer has explained how he got the F1 driver into peak physical condition – and has spilled secrets of the sport’s most demanding race-tracks.
Antti Vierula, who was Lewis Hamilton’s personal trainer, now works with Valtteri Bottas. He developed training programs tailored to Hamilton’s needs in 2011 and 2012 to enhance his endurance, speed, and mental resilience, leading to their joint-record seven F1 championships. Adapting training to the individual athlete and integrating it into the demanding racing schedule is a significant challenge. Heat tolerance is vital, as seen in the Qatar Grand Prix, and hydration plays a crucial role. The Mexico City Grand Prix poses challenges due to the high altitude, affecting athletes’ oxygen intake. Tracks with high-speed corners, such as Suzuka and Hungaroring, demand more physical exertion and require constant focus.
