Inside Lewis Hamilton’s close bond with brother Nicolas – including £70k gift before tragic slide into debt & addictionLewis came up with a clever way to distract bullies who picked on his sibling because he was in a wheelchair

GROWING up in the shadow of a world-famous sibling cannot be easy – least of all when that person is Lewis Hamilton. And it’s been his brother Lewis who has helped him to overcome many of the obstacles, as we reveal.

In recent years, Nicolas has admitted he has been unable to follow his brother as he races around the world but remains his “No1 fan”.
