Lewis Hamilton to race at Canadian Grand Prix and 'wouldn't miss it for the world' despite pain
Lewis Hamilton says he will be at the Canadian Grand Prix and "wouldn't miss it for the world" despite experiencing pain in Sunday's race in Baku.
The Briton had said he was "worried" about the upcoming race in Montreal following what he described as "the toughest race" of his career.
"Yesterday was tough and I had some trouble sleeping, but I've woken up feeling positive today," Hamilton said.
"My back is a little sore and bruised but nothing serious thankfully."
The seven-time world champion added in an Instagram post: "I've had acupuncture and physiotherapy and I'm on my way to my team to work with them on improving.
"We have to keep fighting. I'll be there this weekend - I wouldn't miss it for the world."
Mercedes have been afflicted by bouncing, which has a number of causes, since the beginning of the year. They felt they had fixed one of the causes with car upgrades two races ago in Spain, but it has returned in a different form since.
He added that the car was bouncing so badly through the high-speed kinks at the start of Baku's pit 'straight' that he thought he might crash.
"The thing was bouncing so much, there were so many times I was nearly going into the wall," Hamilton said. "That was a concern.
"Safety-wise at 180mph, smashing into the wall - I don't think I've really had to think about that too much as a racing driver. It is a very strange experience."
Hamilton's team-mate George Russell, who finished one place ahead in third, is leading a campaign by the drivers to try to persuade F1's governing body to take action to change the cars to remove the bouncing.
The issue is also known as 'porpoising' and has returned to F1 for the first time in 40 years this season as a result of the new car designs introduced to make the racing closer.
This has introduced an aerodynamic philosophy known as 'ground effect', which requires the cars to run as low as possible for maximum performance. But doing this can trigger a disruption in underbody airflow, which then causes high-frequency bouncing as the airflow fluctuates.
However, eight of the 10 teams are required to agree for a change to be introduced, unless the FIA decides it wants to introduce it on safety grounds, and the teams voted against making an immediate change in a meeting over the course of the Azerbaijan race weekend.
Russell said: "It's totally understandable because every team is developing their car around a set of regulations and with any change. no-one knows what the consequences are.
