Lewis Hamilton has admitted he is still not feeling 100-percent fit after recovering from COVID-19 in the past week to take part in this weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Hamilton qualified third on the grid on Saturday, just 0.086s off Max Verstappen on pole position, but said he was not operating on the same level he had been at his last race before contracting the virus two weeks ago.
"I think it's overall energy [I'm lacking]," he said. "One of the symptoms is that it really drains you. So I've been trying to sleep as much as I can but recharging is not as easy as it has been in the past.
