Hamilton on new, higher minimum weight: "I'm not trying to be the Hulk!"

Reigning champion Lewis Hamilton is thrilled to be able to put on weight and eat whatever he wants with the new, higher minimum weight for Formula 1 drivers in 2019.

Well-documented on his social media, Hamilton was very active during the winter, trying out several different sports in his downtime like surfing and martial arts.

"For me it's so much more," Hamilton told Motorsport-Magazin when asked about him gaining weight.

Always remaining active, Hamilton spent less time training in the gym and more time going out and being active, challenging himself physically by trying other sports.

Let's hope all of the drivers can fit in their seats with all the weight gaining that's happening across the paddock!
