Lewis Hamilton's Brother: First Disabled Race Driver


Lewis Hamilton's Brother
Lewis Hamilton  younger brother Nicholas is the first disabled person to race in the British Touring Car Championship.

The 22-year-old has cerebal palsy but has not let that put the brakes on his dream of becoming a racing car driver.
Speaking on This Morning, he revealed the reason he was following his dreams is to “inspire others”.

He said: “It’s going to be a development year for me. I don’t want to put pressure on myself and I don’t want to go out there and say I am going to set the world alight.

“I want to inspire able bodied and disabled people to exceed expectations.”

The rising star, who grew up idolising his Formula 1 racing, revealed it was his parents who helped him be the man he is today.

He admitted: “I would say it comes from my parents. My parents never wrapped me up in cotton wool.

“It got to the stage where I thought my parents didn’t care. If I fell they didn’t pick me up I had to learn myself.”

Nicholas is due to make his debut in the British Tour Car Championship in June.
