Lewis Hamilton says it’s “strange” to him that some athletes are now putting the covid crisis firmly behind them. Seven time world champion Hamilton, however, says he is battling for the 2021 title whilst “in constant fear” of the virus. Hamilton, 36, has already had covid, and he said fully recovering from it made the first half of this season “one of the toughest I’ve ever experienced”. But he says the fear now is that another covid infection will mean game over for the championship. But Hamilton also admits to remaining worried about the virus itself, while the “isolation and insecurity in dealing with people makes a monumental difference”.
