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.”

Further, he went on to add, “So I did what I had to do: had the cast removed, put on a lighter weight one, and raced one handed. I won that championship. I’ve known since then that I can overcome anything when I fight for it. Whether it’s driving with an injured wrist or fighting my way up the grid like I did last weekend. The same is true for you. Fight for what you want. You’ll get it.”
