$285 Million Star Lewis Hamilton Once Splurged $1200 to Keep His Bond Alive With Brother Nicolas

Lewis Hamilton has got a unique bond with his brother Nicolas. Despite suffering from cerebral palsy, Nicolas has fought his condition brilliantly with Hamilton and their family’s support. The uniqueness of their bond often shows up on several occasions. Back in 2021, one similar thing happened when Lewis apparently gifted Nicolas a unique gift related to gaming. Usually, the Mercedes driver does not really relate to gaming, but this gesture was to maintain his bond with his dear brother.

According to the Irish Sun, Lewis gifted Nicolas a portable gaming station that can be used for playing anywhere. Nicolas also posted an Instagram story that captioned, “Lewis Hamilton kindly gave me a portable gaming station so I can still link up with him and play while I’m away racing. Genius!”

This was a unique portable setup that saw Nicolas playing Call of Duty: Warzone. It was a sort of gaming rig that neither resembled a gaming laptop nor a handheld console. Instead, it was like a briefcase that had space for all controllers with a monitor.

Considering this was a lighter, portable device; it may have got a PS4 inside than a PS5. Nevertheless, the cost of the can be estimated at around $1200. Lewis, worth $285 million splurging this amount on a gaming console, certainly showcases how much he cares for Nicolas.
