Haha, I thought our interview with him was better at the neo- where we purposely didn't mention anything about his bro at all. Comedy! he's a nice lad anyway, if he blags some sponsorship for any reason it's a good deal!

I think it's great and it raises the profile of the hobby.

Lewis Hamilton's brother.

I don't think what you do or don't earn should come into sponsorship. As I said above I think it's great.

Nic was supported by Kyosho this year and has just changed his ride and engine, so being sponsored is not new for Nic

Nic is a top lad who is very down to earth if you where to met him at a 1/8th track, I would suspect it is not the financial support of being sponsored that is the benefit for Nic but more importantly being part of a team, He goes racing mostly on his own as we all know his Dad and brother are away playing with big cars but also due to his disability things like marshling are not possible for him

If Lewis hamilton was my brother I'd be a complete wanker about it and never shut up. Nic aint tho!

Nic came along to one of our TC club nights last year. Seemed like a good guy and knows what hes doing on the track!

I hope it isnt LRP taking advantage of the name, but if he asked for the sponsership then good on him

the whole idea of sponsorship, is to get product coverage in the media, whether it is sponsoring the top guys, or sponsoring a name..... does it really matter??

Lewis has raced with Nic at Ware on occasions and it is very strange seeing their Dad in Pit lane watching an RC car when you are used to seeing him on the TV

At least i can say i beat lewis all be it with an RC car rather than a real one.....

Seems like he has had a few good results. Good on the lad, I hope to get a bit of nitro in this year and would love to race him
Getting sponsors is not all about being a regular nat A finalist. good publicity chances help too.

Lee got him down to CML RW a while back now and got him doing some 1/10th practising, he's a top lad - we all had dinner at mine later and had a good laugh and spent most of the night avoiding talking about Lewis as i'm sure he would get fed up with it as would we all - still had some good stories to tell mind, and he's really grown up for his age! Good luck to him :-)
