The father of seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton – Anthony Hamilton – had a pretty good time of it last weekend.
Last weekend was a memorable one for Anthony Hamilton, father of seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton. His eldest son secured a podium at the F1 Canadian Grand Prix, while Nicolas Hamilton, his other son, won the Jack Sears Trophy in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). Nicolas, who has cerebral palsy and was once told he might not walk again, races in a specially-modified car and claimed his first-ever BTCC trophy. The Jack Sears Trophy is awarded to the best-performing driver who has not previously stood on the podium, and Nicolas shined throughout the weekend, finishing 17th, 16th, and 16th in the races. This marked the first time both Hamilton brothers celebrated trophy wins on the same day, a proud moment for their father, Anthony. Despite setbacks in his racing career, Nicolas continues to persevere and recently secured a seat for the 2025 season with Powder Monkey Brewing Co and Esidock, racing under VERTU.
