Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton says he spent the summer break training rather than partying and is entering the second half of the season in what he calls his fittest condition. Multiple outlets report he made the remarks as preparations resume for the next phase of the championship.

The coverage frames his comments as part of his ongoing push for another race title, with one report referring to his pursuit of an eighth Formula One world championship. NDTV emphasizes his claim that he is “fittest in 20 years,” while IOL highlights his statement that he is the “fittest ever” as he looks to continue his campaign.

While all sources agree on Hamilton’s message about training over partying and his fitness assessment, they differ mainly in phrasing and emphasis—either focusing on the “fittest ever” wording or the “fittest in 20 years” formulation. None of the articles provide independent verification of his fitness metrics; they relay his own assessment as he returns to racing.
