Nic Hamilton, inspirational
Discussion
Just watched "Racing with the Hamiltons" on BBC.
What an inspiration Nic is in so many ways. In particular his meeting with the kids at Scope showed a very human side. I also saw a different side to Lewis.
What a great programme and I wish him all the best for the forthcoming season.
Good lad

Recorded this and cannot wait to watch it.
Seems to me that he has faced many challenges in his life both physically and personally in the form of the relationship with his father and his brothers racing career. Always in the shade but now emerging and I love the fact that he is determined to do his thing despite the odds seemingly against him with his disability.
Nobody can blame Lewis for his now uber image and career, but it must be tough being the brother who never got the good breaks in life, unitl now it seems!
I also like the fact that Lewis turns up to his races and emerses himself in Nic's race weekends and somehow limits the spotlight on himself, making it clear that he is there for Nic, not him.
Looking forward to getting it on the tele this eve.

What a lovely family - Lewis and Nic, both top blokes. I still can't understand why people have such a problem with him.
Because he beat Alonso in the first corner of his first race and ended up beating him in his debut season too. If Alonso had not behaved so disgustingly, Lewis would have been F1's only Rookie Champion, morally he was.Too many people had too much ego invested in the false Alonso the Invincible story for them to accept what they were seeing.
Nic seems like a decent guy. Hard working and never say die.
Lewis came across much better. Presumably as he is in a relaxed environment talking about his family. Not in his work environment and not having the easiest year of it.
Anthony Hamilton comes across as a very hard but fair man. It's clearly about getting what is the best for his boys though - so can't argue.
