Hamilton and the injury at the beginning of 2025: “Very difficult period, I couldn’t sleep”

The revelation of the seven-time world champion During the winning weekend in Barcelona it emerged that it was at Montmelò that Lewis Hamilton suffered a rather serious injury in the private tests carried out to begin to gain confidence with Ferrari. The seven-time world champion, when asked about this issue during the media meeting on Thursday on the eve of the Austrian GP, ​​went into a little more detail on the issue. “It’s a private thing – Hamilton’s debut – last year during testing I crashed violently into a wall, I dislocated a cervical disc which also had impacts on the nerve. For about nine weeks I wasn’t able to train every day, I couldn’t physically cope, I couldn’t sleep, I took painkillers, I had to have injections, I did everything I could to try to solve the problem and it wasn’t easy to live with having to sit in the cockpit.” After his first success in Ferrari in Barcelona, ​​the English driver arrived in Austria on the wings of enthusiasm: “It’s fantastic to have a car that finally has the things I asked for. We are moving together and we are collaborating very well. I love driving this SF-26, now I’m starting to be able to put into practice the things I asked for, and this is the thing that makes me feel better.”
