LEWIS HAMILTON has delivered a personal message on his Instagram explaining how he struggles to keep his weight down.
The five-time world champion posted a shirtless image of himself with a message of encouragement to his 12.9 million followers.
Hamilton, 34, says he does not enlist the help of a personal trainer, although he does have a performance coach in Angela Cullen.
The Brit is currently in Sochi for the Russian Grand Prix looking to extend his lead in the drivers' championship.
He said: "Staying in shape is something so many of us struggle with.
"My weight fluctuates every week with all this travelling. One week I bulk up and then the other weeks I lose muscle and put on fat.
"Can honestly say I've never been 100 per cent happy with my look, that's why I just keep working at it.
"I have days I can't be a***d but then the days I can are so rewarding.
"Just want to let you know that whilst you are perfect just the way you are, if you want to change only you can do it.
"Hiring a trainer to walk you through it can help but ultimately it's how much you want it.
"That's why I don't actually have a trainer. That's my stubborn side.
"So here's me, imperfections and all flaws but I chose to keep fighting and working on being a better me."
