LEWIS HAMILTON'S former trainer has revealed what the biggest challenge of training the Formula One great was. <\/p>\n

Antti Vierula was part of Hamilton's support crew between 2011 and 2012 while the Brit was still with McLaren.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Since then Hamilton has gone on to rack up a total of seven F1 world titles, six of which have come at Mercedes.<\/p>\n

However, speaking to OLBG, Vierula has now opened up on what the main challenge to working with him was.<\/p>\n

He said: "You try and get the best out of the time you have, and that's the case for training any athlete. <\/p>\n

"The racing schedule is so demanding, and the biggest challenge is weaving training into that schedule.<\/p>\n

"The training can't hurt the athlete or stress them too much. Training also can't deplete the energy levels. You learn a lot about the athletes you're training as you spend time with them. <\/p>\n

"The coach has to adapt training to the specifics of the individual, but that's something you naturally learn as time goes on."<\/p>\n

Vierula, who now trains Hamilton's former team-mate Valtteri Bottas, previously revealed the type of training they got up to. <\/p>\n

He told Grosvenor Sport how Hamilton loved running, while Bottas preferred cycling.<\/p>\n

The workouts also included intense training for the muscles on his backside.<\/p>\n

Hamilton, 38, paired up with Angela Cullen in 2016, with the duo only going their separate ways ahead of the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix earlier this season.<\/p>\n

Following the split, Vierula backed Cullen's comments that Hamilton "got the best out of everyone".<\/p>\n

He said: "I liked working with Lewis, it was a joy, he\u2019s a passionate guy on the track. He was brilliant in getting everything out of the car and engineers, he pushes people to get the best out of everyone.<\/p>\n

"He would work hard getting answers from engineers, giving his opinion about what he thinks is right. He had a brilliant will to improve."<\/p>\n

Hamilton is staring down his second winless F1 season in a row, having always managed to win at least one race every season prior to 2022.<\/p>\n

His W14 Mercedes struggled at last weekend's Brazil Grand Prix, and he admitted Max Verstappen and Red Bull would likely be the dominant force over the next couple of seasons.<\/p>\n

However, Vierula does not believe Brazil is among the hardest tracks to race on.<\/p>\n

Instead, Vierula declared Japan's Suzuka Circuit was the most difficult track on the calendar.<\/p>\n

He said: "I'd say the hardest tracks are the ones with high-speed corners. There's a lot of braking involved, and those kinds of tracks are the most demanding.<\/p>\n

"I\u2019d say Suzuka is the hardest for the neck, the high speed corners give drivers a lot of work. <\/p>\n
