The 31-year-old currently races in the Br🌠itish Touring Car Championship (BTCC) despite suffering from the condition cerebral palsy.

It i💫mpacts💫 his movement, particularly how he walks, however it’s not halted his desire to race.

Hamilton scored his best career-result in BTCC back in April, finishing sixth at Donington Park - where his older brother, Lewis, was pr🐬esent watching from the sidelines.

In an interview with , Nicolas revealed that Lewis hasn’t h💟ad any influence in terms of funding for his motorsport career and spoke about the challenges of being related to F1’s most successfulജ driver ever.

“Lewis has never put a penny into my motorsport,” he said. “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 crit൲icism is unjust – I don’t deserve it. But to finally shut the critics up on April 23rd was the 🤪best thing I could ever wish for. It was a load of relief and a lot of weight off my shoulders.

“When you’👍re slogging at it for so long, you feel like it’s not going to come. Every time you do something negative, you feel like you’re proving people right. So it was a telling day.”

Nicolas conceded that the comparisons to his more successful sibling has 🎶made it💖 challenging at times.

“Ever since 𓃲I’ve started racing, it’s𝕴 been hard because people compare me to Lewis and say I’m only there because he’s a multi-millionaire,” he added.

“He’s still a massive reason why I’m as strong as I am and why I’m out of my wheelchair. I’m still his No 1 fan. Lewis and my dad [Anthony], he has been the anchor for the whole fami꧟ly.

“But it’s been really hard being related to Lewis an🧜d trying to carve my own career in motorsport.”
