It was the first time Nicolas watched his brother achieve his best practice session of the season

Nicolas captioned the picture: “So good to be back, supporting big bro! First time for me with Scuderiaferrari, where I have been made to feel so welcome.”

The Hamiltons have motor racing in their DNA, with Nicolas currently competing in the British Touring Car Championship for Powder Monkey Brewing Co with Esidock.

Nicolas, 33, races with a specially-modified car due to his cerebral palsy.

Nicolas is a huge inspiration to fans across the globe, becoming the first ever disabled driver to compete in BTCC against able-bodied drivers.

Born two months prematurely, Nicolas spent the first six weeks of his life in intensive care and was diagnosed with spastic diplegia – a form of cerebral palsy – at 18 months old, with doctors predicting he would never be able to walk or run.

The two brothers have a close bond and Lewis went incognito to watch Nicolas race at Donnington Park in April 2023.

The seven-time world champion, who is going for a record-extending 10 Silverstone wins on Sunday, watched a best-ever finish of sixth for Nicolas.

Nic said in an interview at the time: “Lewis has never put a penny into my motorsport,

“There’s people who still don’t believe me when I say that, but that is literally the situation.

“I’ve had a lot of online trolling and bullying where everyone says I’m only in BTCC because of Lewis.


“A lot of the criticism is unjust – I don’t deserve it. But to finally shut the critics up on 23 April was the best thing I could ever wish for. It was a load of relief and a lot of weight off my shoulders.”

Nicolas had competed full-time in the British Touring Car Championship since 2019 but stopped racing part way through the 2023 season.

With the new BTCC campaign beginning in April, it was thought that Nicolas’ 20-month sabbatical would be extended.

But in March it was announced that he would be making a shock return after nearly two years out driving a modified Cupra Leon for Un-Limited Motorsports this year.

Meanwhile, on Saturday Hamilton dropped from P2 in the third qualifying session to qualify fifth for the British Grand Prix on Sunday.

The 40-year-old went too wide in the final sector, with old team-mate George Russell beating his time, as provisional pole-sitter Oscar Piastri bobbled wide too.

But a stunning error-free lap from Max Verstappen secured pole position for the Red Bull star, with Piastri and Lando Norris making up the front row.

Elsewhere, Hamilton‘s beloved French bulldog Roscoe was spotted returning to the Silverstone paddock this week.

The Brit previously told SunSport that “his heart stops” every time he gets a text about Roscoe, with the 12-year-old dog recently recovering from pneumonia.
