Should Lewis Hamilton race at the Canadian Grand Prix?
Hamilton is experiencing severe back pain
GPFans Staff
Lewis Hamilton's participation at the Canadian Grand Prix has been cast into doubt by team principal Toto Wolff.
The seven-time champion clambered gingerly from the cockpit of his Mercedes W13 after an Azerbaijan Grand Prix plagued by aggressive porpoising, leaving Hamilton with back pains.
With Montréal just a few days away and the relentless nature of the bouncing set to return down the long back straight at the Circuit de Gilles Villeneuve, would it be wise for Hamilton to sit a race out?
