And following their first move into America, the Financial Times say Neat Burger is now valued in excess of $100million (£80m).

The latest round of financing raised an additional $18 (£14.5m) and Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois was among those to invest.

Hamilton, 38, went vegan in 2017 and at the time he claimed his fitness levels improved as a result of the diet change.

The racer - who is also part of the ownership group of the NFL franchise the Denver broncos - is currently fourth in the F1 standings.

Wolff told F1 's website: “It’s so difficult because we were in the mix with Aston Martin and with Ferrari I would say.

"It’s a new baseline. I don’t expect us to be clearing Aston Martin and Ferrari [there].

"It is more about understanding what does this car do now, how to set it up and we are really good at grinding away.

"Even with the old package which wasn’t that great, or was terrible at the start of the season, we managed to win a race in Interlagos [in 2022] in a dominant way. So we’re going to get there.”
