Formula One star Lewis Hamilton, often featured in the Netflix hit Drive to Survive series, has opened up on his longterm battle with mental health.
Hamilton told The Sunday Times newspaper that he had suffered with depression since he was 13 years old, something he puts down to the pressure of racing from a young age and struggling at school in his hometown of Stevenage north of London.
Hamilton, now aged 39, said: “I think it was the pressure of the racing and struggling at school — the bullying. I had no one to talk to.
