Tragic Update in F1: Lewis Hamilton Shares Heartbreaking News About Brother Nicolas
Monaco – 25 minutes ago – The Formula 1 community has been shaken after seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton issued an urgent and emotional update regarding his younger brother, Nicolas Hamilton.
In a heartfelt Instagram story posted just moments ago, Lewis revealed that Nicolas has been rushed to hospital following a sudden and severe flare-up of his long-standing medical condition. The visibly distressed Mercedes driver described the situation as “one of the most challenging times I’ve ever experienced,” urging fans to keep Nicolas in their prayers.
“Nicolas has been readmitted to hospital due to complications, and his condition deteriorated rapidly over the past 24 hours,” Lewis said in the brief video message. “We are doing everything possible and praying constantly. Please keep him in your thoughts.”
Nicolas, 32, was born with cerebral palsy, a neurological condition affecting muscle coordination and movement. Despite this, he has defied the odds to forge a successful career in the British Touring Car Championship, earning admiration worldwide for his resilience, determination, and unwavering spirit.
Family sources indicate that Nicolas has recently been suffering from intense fatigue, muscle spasms, and breathing difficulties – symptoms linked to his condition. While specific details remain private, medical staff at Princess Grace Hospital in Monaco are reportedly keeping him in a high-care unit and monitoring his situation closely.
The Hamilton brothers share an exceptionally close bond. Lewis has often called Nicolas his “biggest inspiration,” crediting him for teaching life lessons on strength, patience, and perseverance. They are frequently seen together at F1 races and public events, with Lewis openly expressing his pride in his brother’s accomplishments.
The sudden downturn in Nicolas’s health has left Lewis deeply shaken. Sources within Mercedes-AMG Petronas have confirmed that he has suspended all commitments ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix to focus entirely on his family.
Messages of support have been pouring in from across the motorsport world. George Russell wrote, “Sending all my love to Lewis and Nicolas. Stay strong—you are both warriors.” Lando Norris added, “Nicolas is one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met. Sending strength and healing thoughts.”
Just days ago, Lewis appeared in high spirits at a charity event in Monaco, but today’s video message showed a starkly different side. Clearly emotional, he urged fans to not only pray for Nicolas but also to cherish loved ones every day. “Nicolas has fought countless battles. He’s my hero. Please send him your love,” he said before ending the clip.
At the time of writing, there has been no official medical statement from the hospital or the Hamilton family. However, a source close to them has confirmed that Nicolas is in a “critical but stable condition.”
With the Monaco Grand Prix imminent, fans are preparing for the possibility that Lewis may withdraw from the race. Right now, his focus is firmly on being by his brother’s side.
The global motorsport community stands united in hope, offering prayers, encouragement, and support for both Lewis and Nicolas during this difficult time, and honoring the extraordinary bond between the two brothers.
