Fernando Alonso’s trainer recently revealed the secrets behind the Spaniard’s performance and how Alonso is able to perform at such a high level at 41 years of age. Lewis Hamilton recently revealed a life-changing promise he made to himself that put him “in a good place.” However, he also admitted to breaking the promise twice already. What was the promise? How did Hamilton break it?

Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes have been on a downward trajectory ever since the shock of the 2021 championship finale. With Mercedes lacking behind and Hamilton’s 8th championship hopes fading, it must be stressful for the 38-year-old. Angela Cullen, his former performance coach, once suggested after spending a year with the 7X champion that Hamilton only drank with her 4 times during the whole year. And only when there’s a big gap between races, then Hamilton will just have a drink to celebrate the win.

However, Lewis Hamilton recently revealed how he completely left alcohol to be in a better place but then broke the promise he made to himself a couple of times. According to the F1: Chequered Flag podcast, Lewis Hamilton said, “I’ve generally been in a very good place. I didn’t drink for like 5 months. Also since the new year I didn’t drink 5 months into the year. I’ve only had 2 occasions but I don’t really drink much anyways but I’m stopping again.”
