Motorsport is in Nicolas Hamilton’s blood. Born in Hertfordshire, England in 1992, Nicolas watched as his older brother Lewis carved out the beginnings of his own racing career. After successful stints in karts, Formula 3, and GP2 Lewis Hamilton, of course, would go on to win the Formula 1 championship three times, chalking up more race victories than any other British driver in the history of F1 in the process.
But it appeared Nicolas wasn’t going to be able to follow his brother into the world of motorsport. There was a hurdle. Nicolas was born with cerebral palsy, which affects his lower legs and the right side of his body. He tried karting in a car park as a seven-year-old, with his feet strapped to the pedals, but he crashed into a ditch.
