Hamilton sends warning to rivals as he cranks up off-season routine

The seven-time world champion, who shared a carousel of training videos on his social media, revealed how he has continued to push himself harder with several exercise and preparation routines ahead of the start of the new campaign.

Hamilton accompanied the series of workout videos with a caption detailing his preparation:

“This is the most I’ve ever trained between seasons. I’m pushing hard every day to show up stronger than ever this year. With lifting, cardio, flexibility, and strength training, everything is about progress, endurance and going further than the day before. See you soon, Melbourne 💪🏾💥,” he wrote on Instagram.

Hamilton endured a challenging debut campaign with the Ferrari team, with results proving to be a far departure from what many expected following his seismic switch to the Italian outfit.

However, the 41-year-old has continued to express optimism ahead of the new season and only recently shared a motivational note ahead of the campaign.

Earlier, former Formula 1 driver turned pundit Martin Brundle backed Hamilton to shine this season.

The 66-year-old, in his outlook on drivers who could clinch the 2026 championship, noted that Hamilton cannot be discarded from the conversation.

Brundle highlighted how particularly happy and optimistic his fellow Brit has been—something he believes could translate into a major step up in the results he could achieve this campaign.
