‘You don’t want to have the big oscillations and highs and lows in your energy levels. Veganism has eradicated that. When I was 22, it was raw talent.
‘You’ve got an abundance of energy, you’re fit, there are no aches and pains… But I’m always looking at how I can improve.’
He added that the things he looks to improve are: ‘Can my eyesight be better? Can my reactions be improved? Are there new ways of testing my reactions?
‘The ergonomics in the car … how can I make everything simpler? There’s a multitude of things and I’m always trying to raise the bar.

Lewis revealed that his diet transformation has healed his gut, he said: ‘One of the things was my sleeping pattern and not feeling right in the stomach. Your gut is your second brain.’
The motor sportsman added that non-vegans are missing out and said: ‘We’re taught to drink milk and eat meat for protein and I started looking into other areas of research around all this.
‘The first thing was, what’s happening to the animals? ‘Secondly, the impact it can have on your body. That’s a free advantage I’m going to take. If no one else wants it, well that’s their loss.’
Lewis, who decided to try veganism in 2017, has since opened his own meat-free, dairy free, free-from meat products restaurant called Neat Burger.
