Should Lewis Hamilton race at the Canadian Grand Prix?
Hamilton is experiencing severe back pain
Lewis Hamilton's participation at the Canadian Grand Prix has been cast into doubt by team principal Toto Wolff.

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?
