In the double-successful race at Red Bull, George Russell along with the other Mercedes stood on the third class of the podium and, unlike his compatriot, the young Briton was not in obvious pain from the car crash, or at least. It did not appear.
After the race, Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff has not even ruled out the possibility that Hamilton will have to miss the Canadian race that awaits us this weekend.
“All drivers are affected by rebound back pain, but Lewis appears to be the most affected. The solution might be to put our reserve on standby so that it is ready to deploy in case Lewis is unable to take the lead. Of course, nothing new,” Wolff said after the race. In this, because we have a reserve in every race,” but by Monday morning it became clear his concerns were unnecessary.
Lewis Hamilton posted on his Instagram story that his back has improved a lot during the night and he will definitely be there in Canada.
“Yesterday was a hard day and I had some trouble sleeping, but I woke up feeling good. My back is bruised, but it doesn’t hurt anymore, so fortunately this is not a big deal. Of course, this also requires acupuncture and physical therapy, but I’m already in My way to the team is to work and improve. Let’s keep fighting, another competition this weekend that I won’t miss to the world!” – the Mercedes racing driver wrote on his social media page.
