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.”
