NECK STRENGTH

Lateral G-forces can make the driver feel as though there’s an extra 25kg on his neck – here’s how Bottas prepares for that in the gym

• Lie supine on a bench with knees bent and head hanging off the end.

• Place a weight plate on a towel and rest it on your forehead, holding with both hands.

• Start by leaning your head back as far as comfortable and then raise your head until your chin touches your upper chest.
