Mercedes Boss In Awe Over 38-Year-Old Lewis Hamilton’s Unique Ability: “He’s a Real Phenomenon”

In all of Formula 1’s 72-year history, there have just been two drivers with seven world championships. Having a record number of titles each, Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton are way above everyone else when it comes to numbers and stats. While Schumacher has already retired, Hamilton remains as the only driver who’s at his fittest, even at 38 years of age, and this is what baffles the Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff.

Being the top sportsman and celebrity that he is, Hamilton has to travel around the world for races as well as promotions. The Briton not only does them with ease but also gets back to his racing duties week after week. This is what awestruck the Austrian executive as he praised the star driver of his team.

As reported by GP Fans, Wolff shared, “He is great because whenever we fly together, he steps on the plane and sleeps, whether it’s day or night. Whatever the situation, he is very good at regenerating. He’s a real phenomenon.”

“But we are all different in terms of how we relax, how we regenerate when traveling, in terms of getting different impulses from different countries, from different people in roles or jobs.”

Wolff also believes that there is something “that helps him to regenerate.” As for others, they need to be at home and sleep on the sofa. It’s not the same for Hamilton, he feels. Apart from this, the Silver Arrows ace follows a fascinating workout routine that helps him stay at the top of his game.

Lewis Hamilton follows the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, and LeBron James when it comes to recovery

Lewis Hamilton, an ardent follower of fitness, has a great way of maintaining his fitness when it comes to recovery. As per reports, the Mercedes driver follows the same process for recovery as soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, and NBA hotshot LeBron James.

The seven-time world champion follows Cryotherapy, popularly known as cold therapy. This is a common way of getting recovered in a special cabin filled with liquid nitrogen. The temperature used is around -80 degrees celsius to -190 degrees.

In a report published by GQ, it was reported that “This treatment aims to achieve a high degree of well-being, by enhancing the body’s response in the circulatory, muscular and neuroendocrine aspects.”
