However, with Verstappen and Red Bull expected to maintain their dominance in 2024, Hamilton is leaving no stone unturned to enhance his performance.
The British racing icon revealed that he abandoned alcohol earlier this year, acknowledging its detrimental impact on his well-being.
Hamilton candidly shared with Vogue, “I’ll suffer for several days – sometimes it’ll be like three or four days. There is pressure within a social setting.
You have that one shot and are like, ‘Damn, why did I do that?’ when you get home.”
Hamilton emphasized the mental clarity and physical well-being he has experienced since abstaining from alcohol.
He expressed a newfound sense of vitality, improved sleep, and the ability to rise early—a crucial factor in his relentless pursuit of excellence.
“I’ve always been looking for how do you get that extra 1%? As an athlete, that’s what you are always doing,” remarked Hamilton, underscoring the commitment required for sustained success in the highly competitive world of Formula One.
The racing icon, who last consumed alcohol four months ago, has not only prioritized his own well-being but has also ventured into the non-alcoholic beverage industry with the launch of his tequila brand, Almave, in collaboration with Casa Lumbre master distiller Ivan Saldana.
Hamilton’s sobriety journey reflects his determination to achieve peak performance on and off the track.
