My weight fluctuates every week with all this travelling. One week I bulk up and then other weeks I lose muscles and put on fat. Can honestly say Ive never been 100% happy with my look, thats why I just keep working at it.

The Mercedes driver also insisted he is choosing to keep fighting and working through the tough days.

I have days I cant be assed but then the days I can are so rewarding, he continued. Just want to let you know that whilst you are perfect just the way you are, if you want change only you can do it.

Hiring a trainer to walk you through it can help but ultimately its how much you want it. Thats why I dont actually have a trainer. Thats my stubborn side.

So heres me, imperfections and all flaws but I chose to keep fighting and working on being a better me. #youcan #investinyourself.

And fans rushed to praise Lewis for his honesty.

Very important words for me and lot of people, one commented.
