Nicolas Hamilton – brother of seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton – could be forced to abandon his season early after a DNF at Silverstone.
Nicolas Hamilton, younger brother of F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, faces a possible early end to his season after a DNF at Silverstone in the British Touring Car Championship with Powder Monkey Brewing Co.
Despite his “best ever” 2025 season at 33 years old, Nicolas endured a scary moment at Silverstone due to an oil fire, casting doubt on his participation in the season finale at Brands Hatch.
After calmly handling the situation and safely exiting his car engulfed in flames, Hamilton may miss the last round, but remains grateful for the support from his loved ones and sponsors.
Nicolas, who has cerebral palsy, previously made BTCC history and returned in 2025, showing personal progress despite not scoring points this season.
With Ingram leading the championship, all eyes are on the conclusion at Brands Hatch in October, while Hamilton sets his sights on a promising 2026 campaign.
