Lewis Hamilton saw a doctor after his second place in the Hungarian Formula 1 Grand Prix (following the downgrading of Sebastian Vettel), obtained after an intense race which left him feeling extremely tired, linked perhaps to his contamination with Covid-19, at the end of 2020. "I had real dizziness and everything became a little blurry on the podium", he reacted, slowly and in a weak voice, a once arrived at a press conference.
Tested positive for Covid-19 after his victory in Bahrain at the end of November 2020, Hamilton then missed the next Grand Prix, on the same Sakhir circuit, and indicated having lived "a week among the hardest for a long time".
Eight months later, the Mercedes driver appeared in difficulty, as if dizzy, getting out of his car, and he was having trouble standing.
"There, it was much worse"
Is it a form of long Covid, has he been asked?
“I haven't told anyone in particular about it, but I think it's persistent.
I remember the effects at the time.
The training has been different since then, and the fatigue levels are different.
I just keep trying to train and prepare in the best possible way.
"
"Who knows what it is today," concluded the multiple F1 world champion.
Maybe it's a hydration issue, I don't know, but I've certainly never had this experience before.
I had something similar at Silverstone [two weeks ago], but this was a lot worse.
