Motorsport as an endeavor has always been a bit cut off. It’s not always been a very easy thing to get into. The barriers to entry professional racing have always been very high. And naturally, equality of opportunity has been the need of the hour for quite some time now. However, as the times have progressed, so has the attitude within the sport. Drivers like Lewis Hamilton have led the charge toward an inclusive sport.

The positive strides that the sport has made are evident through the example of Hamilton’s brother, Nicolas Hamilton. Nicolas suffers from Cerebral Palsy. Irrespective of this, the Brit has defied all the odds and is a racing driver, just like his brother!

He took to his Instagram account today to share a piece of news that just extends the ethos of how motorsport has become a more welcoming prospect for everyone. He captioned his post, “2023 Race License! It use to take me two months to secure my license, through multiple tests & analysis, due to my condition.”

“Now, I’m treated as an equal, like any other driver & can get my license in a matter of days. Let’s have a good year!”

Hamilton took to his social media handle to post, “Earlier this year Nicolas and I asked my team if we could make this day happen and here we are. Time in the sim is incredibly rare, and not something that is accessible for someone like my brother. It took custom modifications to the seat, steering wheel and pedals to make this possible.”

“He spent the whole day in it, and is the first disabled person to ever do so.”
