You may wonder how F1 drivers manage to stay fit even with a hectic F1 calendar. 20+ races with multiple double and triple header weekends and yet Lewis Hamilton can manage to win weekend after weekend. When his ace performance coach gives him some really cold treatment to make the Mercedes man fit, it is difficult to doubt his consistency.

Angela Cullen has been Hamilton’s performance coach since 2016. Recently she has started a new rest and recovery method for the 7-time champion and it is quite cold. She posted footage of Lewis and her in a sub-zero temperature room as low as -111.6 degrees Celsius. This therapy is known as Whole Body Cryotherapy.

The Instagram Reel by Angela was captioned, “We take rest and recovery seriously .. particularly during these triple headers to turn around after an intense race weekend and be ready for Thursday to start the next one.”
