Hamilton, 38, is seemingly getting in even better shape with age, recently showing off his abs in a photo posted by the Silver Arrows.
He hasn’t just had it gifted to him, however – Hamilton works extremely hard on his body.
The Formula 1 superstar often works out in his home gym, assisted by trainer Angela Cullen and kept company by dog Roscoe.
Lifting the lid on his workout priorities, he told Men’s Health: “I like lifting weights, but I have to make sure that I don’t overdo it.
“Formula One drivers can’t be too heavy: more muscle means more kilos.
“It’s also disadvantageous to put too much muscle on your shoulders and arms, because you need to have a low centre of gravity in the car.”
On another area of focus that the layman might miss, Hamilton revealed: “Your neck is where– is probably the one that fatigues the most.
“Your helmet and your head weigh a lot.

“It’s about 22 pounds, and obviously, six times that weight through a corner for a sustained period of time is heavy.”
The seven-time world champion is also a champion of plant-based diets – having adopted one during his time in New York.
Explaining a key food that even petrolheads may miss, he gushed to Vanity Fair: “I used to look at hummus and I was like, ‘No way would I ever eat hummus!’
“And I love it now. It’s my go-to thing every day.”
In a 2020 Instagram post, Hamilton showed off his ripped abs in a mirror selfie, while also diving into how he keeps his body and mind in pristine shape.
He wrote: “Every year I try to find the right balance between being the fittest athlete I can be, a good businessman and deliver on all platforms.
“It is far from easy but I give it my all. I listen to my body, fuel it to the best of my knowledge. This year, I’ve managed to push further and be fitter and stronger than the years before which I’m so happy about.
‘HEALTH IS WEALTH’
“I feel more ready than ever as I embark on my journey to the first race of the season. I just want to encourage you all out there, your body and mind are one.
“Take care of it, feed your body and your mind with the right ingredients. Health is wealth! If you believe you can’t do something that is just the wrong attitude because you can do anything you put your mind to.
“You need to develop a positive frame of mind and working out will help you do that and feel better about yourself. I know you can do it, now you need to know it too!!”
Hamilton also enjoys taking part in other sports.
He has been spotted surfing and skiing during his down time.
