Against the recent trend, Kovalainen gains weight

By on

With the recent weight loss trend that plagued the Formula One drivers over the winter, one would expect Heikki Kovalainen to have done the same. But the Finn declares the contrary, saying that he has actually gained 4.5kg (in muscle) compared to the same time last year.

"I now weigh 4.5 kilograms more than I did at the same time last year," Kovalainen told Finnish newspaper 'Helsingin Sanomat'.

"Personally I feel considerably better now. I have no pressure to lose weight," he added.
