"...there has not been a day in my life where something has not hurt..."

Yes, if Lewis Hamilton had not been his brother he would never have gotten Vodafone as a sponsor in UK Clio Cup or had Mclaren prepare his car but you got to take your helmet off to Nic.  Well done man!

Take the 50 or minutes or so and have a look at this BBC piece about Nic Hamilton quest to go racing despite his disability.


Not sure how I feel about Anthony Hamilton, at the very least he's redefining tough love there... Who knows maybe he's a sweetheart under all that.

Over the Hedge: Hamilton crashes Carrera GT.

Proving talent is not hereditary, Anthony Hamilton, father of the talented Lewis, wrecked his Porsche Carrera GT yesterday.

Hamilton Sr. put his $500k car, in classic Porsche fashion, backwards through a hedge and into a garden normally frequented by playing children. Luck smiled on Hamilton as none were present at the time.

An eyewitness is quoted by the UK's Mirror :

"I was working near his house and saw him leave in the Porsche. He started revving the car really hard and wheel-spinned off. He had the roof down and looked at me before he put his foot down. He roared off and 50 yards down the road lost it on the corner."
"The car spun around at 180 degrees and left the road. There was a terrible bang. I ran over and I asked if he was alright. He just said 'yes' and staggered off, looking really shocked.".

Car was plucked from the hedge and Mr. Hamilton questioned by the authorities. He refused to release any statement.
