Nicolas Hamilton: Beyond Being Lewis' Brother & My Fight to Be Seen For Who I am (E369)

So when I did fall over, my dad didn't come and help, my mum didn't come and help. And yeah, I I'm I'm so grateful for for the way they brought me up. You know, I just gambled all day and I lost thousands and thousands and thousands. I spoke to the Samaritans. I felt like they like saved my life at that point.

Put my helmet on, standing in the garage to get into my British touring car and I can't believe that I'm physically able to do that and not just physically able to do that, but physically able to compete and compete really well. That is the voice of Nick Hamilton, inspirational speaker, brother to seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton, but also a person in his own right, a racing driver, and not only that, a racing driver born with cerebralsy. But today's conversation is not about what he's done. It's about how he's managed to do it. It's not a conversation about comparison.

That's happened to Nick too many times over the years. This is a conversation about the man himself, a man's journey to find self-worth. independence, his own voice, and of course the strength mentally and physically to live life on his own terms. This was a really important episode for me. I've known Nick for well over a decade, in fact almost 20 years, but the things that he talks about I had no idea about, because he's going to take us into the tough love childhood that shaped him, where falling over didn't mean being picked up.
