'I felt so ashamed,' Lewis Hamilton’s brother reveals he sold Mercedes C63 received from F1 champion as a gift to pay tax bills after losing money in gambling

I felt so ashamed, using this amazing gift to pay my tax bill. It felt like I had practically stolen the money from my brother and I have never forgiven myself for that. It destroyed me. I got a real wake-up call. I had no way of going forward because I'd lost everything. I was stuck. I had a balcony at my flat and I was thinking what would I do if I just jumped off it. Nicholas Hamilton wrote in his book.

The Briton also spoke about how he felt uneasy throughout his gambling years, and couldn’t talk about it to his family. Luckily, Hamilton started speaking to helplines and finally put a full stop to his gambling habits.
