Lewis Hamilton denied concerns about his participation in the Canadian Grand Prix of Formula One after suffering from back pain in Baku, saying that he "wouldn’t miss it for the world".

The Mercedes driver was among a number of drivers who were affected by the bouncing phenomenon during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend, with the cars shaking violently near the end of the long straight line.

Hamilton pointed out during the race that he was suffering from back pain, and said after the race that he was trying to hold on to finish the race in which he ended up in fourth place.

Toto Wolff, Mercedes team principal, called on the "FIA" to intervene and find a solution to the problem, saying that "something has to happen" given the physical concerns expressed by many drivers.

When asked if he was afraid that the pain might force Hamilton to miss the next race in Canada, Wolff said: "Yes, definitely. I haven’t seen him yet, and I haven’t talked to him after the race, but you can see that this is no longer a muscle issue now".

The British driver wrote on his Instagram account on Monday to reveal updates about his condition, writing: "My back hurts a little, but nothing serious fortunately".

He added: "I had an acupuncture session and I am on my way to my team to work together to improve the situation".

He continued: "We have to keep fighting, there is no time like the present to come together and push together, and we will do that".

He added: "I will be present this weekend, I wouldn’t miss it for the world. I wish everyone an amazing day and week".

Mercedes was among the prominent teams that suffered from bouncing this season, as the phenomenon became clear during the winter testing with the return of cars adopting ground effects in this new generation of cars.

The many bumps on the Baku street circuit exacerbated the problem, with many drivers suffering from some physical issues, which ignited safety debates surrounding the bouncing.
