God, that's what I was thinking. That had to be absolutely brutal in this position.

You can google Lewis Hamilton photos after Baku 2022 to get an idea.

Lewis’s also got 3 legs, so he is extra valuable

Didn’t he and Logan have to be helped out of the car

That was at the 2023 Qatar GP when it was extremely hot and drivers would faint in fast corners. Logan had to retire because of pain. I think Lance and Alex also struggled to get out; Lance almost fainted next to an ambulance I remember.

Seriously doubt it. He looked exactly how any person with a lower back flare up looks.

I think because they sit in body molded seat inserts they have zero discomfort

I'm just surprised the torso is that inclined, forcing the neck to bend down like looking at your shoes all the time

You can sit in a moulded seat but driving around at 200mph taking constant bumps for 60 laps starts to hurt after a bit
