Lewis Hamilton’s Brother, Nicholas, Strikes Big With Another Achievement Under His Belt Despite Significant Disadvantage: “Privilege to Continue Living My Dream”

Lewis Hamilton‘s brother, Nicholas, is a regular in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). Many don’t know that he is the only differently-abled driver on the BTCC grid. Ever since taking to the wheelchair at the age of 12 because of Cerebral Palsy, Nicholas never lost hope. Some even believed that he made it in life because of his brother and his fortunes. However, the younger Hamilton sibling had said it before and he’s said it again, that he’s made it all the way on his own. Nicholas recently revealed the big milestone he achieved ahead of the BTCC 2023 season.

Lewis draws a yearly salary of $50 million from Mercedes. To top that, he has some lucrative deals with sponsors and brands he endorses. Over the years, according to Celebrity Net Worth, the F1 sensation has accumulated a $285 million net worth for himself. However, none of it appeals to his younger sibling, who has carved out a path for himself on his own.

The BTCC competitor recently took to Instagram to share his inspirational achievement. Giving a glimpse of the car he’ll compete with, in the captions he wrote, “I can’t believe it … I have done it again. I have raised all of my own funds, off of my own hard work, determination & self belief to where I can proudly announce that I will remain on the BTCC Grid with @teamhard_racing for 2023!”

“As I head into my 5th consecutive season in the series, there is not a day that goes by where I do not ‘pinch’ myself for the privilege to continue living my dream.”

According to Popularbio, Nicholas has amassed a net worth of $1-3 million for himself. However, being the elder brother, Lewis never shies away from showering his love on his younger sibling.

An F1-grade simulator is perhaps the best, next-to-the-real-thing experience. They programmed the rig to give as much of the real car feel as the one the team runs on the track. However, the teams develop their sim for able-bodied individuals, more precisely, their incumbent drivers. But Lewis wanted to give Nicholas an experience of what it was like to drive his race car. Team Mercedes heard their man and delivered.

The 7x F1 champion posted photos of Nicholas enjoying his time on the sim on Instagram. An emotional Nicholas in the post’s comments wrote, “The best day of my adult life so far. Thank you @mercedesamgf1 & big bro @lewishamilton for an experience I will never forget.”
