New trainer for Lewis: Finland's Antti Vierula has been putting Lewis to the test in Colorado


OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE

Woking, United Kingdom, Jan 19, 2011

Lewis Hamilton�s Twitter feed (@IamLewis4real) has kept his 90,000 followers up to date on the most strenuous period of winter training in his entire career � and that�s largely thanks to the efforts of his new full-time trainer, Finland�s Antti Vierula.



Lewis spent the Christmas period in the mountains of Colorado, where he�s been snow-hiking, cross-country skiing and working out in the gym � all between altitudes of 2600 and 3700m to maximise cardiovascular efficiency.

It�s been a punishing schedule � but one that will set him up perfectly for the 2011 season. Antti will be working closely with Lewis both in the gym and at the racetrack to co-ordinate his fitness programme, dietary requirements, and to ensure that he�s operating at peak physical form throughout the grueling 20-race season.

McLaren Racing managing director Jonathan Neale said: �At Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, we�re committed to building a team with incredible strength in depth in every department.

�By appointing Antti Vierula to oversee Lewis�s trackside fitness regime and Clayton Green to a senior position within our Human High Performance programme at the McLaren Technology Centre, we�re convinced that we�ve assembled the most experienced, capable and committed team to oversee Lewis�s training requirements."
