The emergence of the seven-time world champion During the winning weekend in Barcelona, it was revealed that Lewis Hamilton had suffered a rather serious injury at Montmelò in private testing to begin to gain confidence in Ferrari. The seven-time world champion elaborated further when asked about this at his press conference on the eve of the Austrian Grand Prix on Thursday. “This is something special – Hamilton’s debut – I hit the wall violently during testing last year, dislocating my cervical disc which affected the nerves. I couldn’t train every day for about nine weeks, couldn’t cope physically, couldn’t sleep, took painkillers, had to have injections, did everything I could to fix the problem and having to sit in the cockpit wasn’t easy to live with.” The British driver arrived in Austria with enthusiasm after his first success for Ferrari in Barcelona: “It’s great to finally have a car that has what I want. We move together and cooperate very well. I love driving this SF-26, now I can implement the things I want and that’s what makes me feel better.”
