Lewis Hamilton can be considered the king of the race tracks. However, there’s another Hamilton who is in the racing scene and is making a difference for people with disabilities. Meet Nicholas Hamilton, Lewis Hamilton’s paternal half-brother.

Nicolas Hamilton is currently racing in the British Touring Championship. He suffers from cerebral palsy because of which, he drives a slightly modified car while competing. Nicholas also became the first disabled athlete to compete in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC).

He continues to inspire people with and without disabilities. Speaking on YouTube with Paralympian John Stubbs, Nicholas explains how he struggled initially with disability and how it affected his confidence around women.

Hamilton said, “When I was a kid growing up, I was always nervous about girls and how girls would perceive me or see me for my condition and I’m going to be totally open and honest, for me I was like if I could just lose my virginity once, that’s all I cared about at the time.”

Nicolas continued, “So I have a lot of able bodied parents come to me, the mum asked me you know what would he be like sort of being with a girl and having sex with a girl or whatever and I just pointed to my girlfriend, I love that I’ve got a girlfriend.” 

He further added, “You know we’re happy together. Any issues that you feel you’d have in a relationship because your disability, I think is irrelevant”
