Lewis Hamilton took to Instagram to pay tribute to a young fan who tragically passed away from a brain tumour. The Mercedes star met Isla at this year's Spanish Grand Prix when she was just five and had been told she was terminally ill. He was able to see her again at the British Grand Prix in Silverstone and they shared a warm embrace.
But after receiving the news that the little girl had died, Hamilton posted an emotional message on his Instagram story. "Devastated to hear about Isla's passing,” the grieving star wrote. "Meeting this little girl and her family at Silverstone was powerful and moving, she was a fighter and an inspiration to us all. Her memory will be with me always."
Struggling to cope with the news, the seven-time F1 world champion added: "I can't stop thinking about Isla. This beautiful little spirit brought so much love into my life, her hugs and support meant the world to me. I can't believe she's gone and I won't get to hug her again. Life is not fair.
