Seven-times Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton said he suspects he has long Covid, after suffering dizziness and fatigue in the aftermath of a hard-fought Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday
"Everything got a bit blurry on the podium," said the 36-year-old, who had to be looked over by his Mercedes team doctor after a flat-out charge from last to third around the twisting Hungaroring.
The Briton was back in action at the final race in Abu Dhabi on December 13, where he finished third after testing negative but reported feeling the after-effects of the disease. On Sunday, he said those effects had lingered. "I remember when I had it, training’s been different since then, the levels of fatigue that you get, it’s different.
"I had something similar in Silverstone but it's just way worse," added the Briton who took his fourth win of the season at the British track two weeks ago.
