Lewis Hamilton Reveals Tear-Jerking Reason Behind Lack of Focus at Spanish GP

Lewis Hamilton admitted on his Instagram story that it was extremely difficult to focus on the track. However, it was for a reason you cannot foresee. Lewis met with a beautiful young girl called Isla with her parents. And her smile was the reason for his distraction as Isla overwhelmed him with her sunny disposition.

This isn’t the first time Lewis has held his fan in high regard. He is often seen surprising his fans with social media messages, merchandise, and even his physical presence.

The five-year-old girl changed Lewis‘ mood and motivated him for the rest of the season. However, the thought that consumed Lewis’ mind was Isla’s illness. At only five, Isla is terminally ill, which melted Lewis’s heart. But this won’t be their last meeting, as Lewis also mentions, looking forward to seeing her at Silverstone.

After meeting Isla and her parents, lewis took to his Instagram Stories and wrote, “Today at the track I had to work extra hard to focus. That’s because today I met a beautiful little girl Isla and her parents.”

“She’s so full of light, her smile alone brought more happiness than I can put into words. I learned that Isla’s only 5 years old and terminally ill. It’s shattered my heart. Seeing her smile and strength is the greatest gift and I just want to thank Isla and her parents for sharing that with me.”
