Earlier, the British star took to Instagram to share an incident from his childhood. He said, “When I was 15 I fell off my bike and hurt my wrist. The next day I was in so much pain I walked myself to the hospital where doctors told me it was broken and I needed a cast. I had just started the European Formula A championship and this meant I wouldn’t be able to compete. I was so terrified, I could not afford to lose my McLaren contract.”

Fight for what you want. You’ll get it.”
