Barcelona (dpa) - World champion Lewis Hamilton has dealt with new training methods during the break before the new Formula 1 season.
"This winter I decided to add more Pilates and Yoga to my training sessions," said the 35-year-old Brit in an interview with the French sports newspaper "L'Équipe". He also worked a lot with meditation, the Mercedes driver revealed. "This is something I haven't really dealt with before, but I feel that my psyche needed it," said the six-time world champion.
Hamilton has been eating vegan for three years. This year, his diet was the best since he drove in Formula 1. "I didn't eat pancakes," said Hamilton, laughing. He now pays much more attention to his diet. "I never try to skip a meal and never allow symptoms of deficiency," said Hamilton, who drove the best time of the day at the start of the Formula 1 tests in Barcelona.
