Lewis Hamilton visits the hospital

Recently, Lewis Hamilton took time out of his busy schedule to zoom into Great Ormond Street Hospital and meet patients, families and staff on Parrot and Tiger wards.

Many patients couldn't believe their eyes when the current World Champion walked onto the wards. 

Lewis was delighted to meet so many patients and made sure they all received a signed cap as well as the chance to take photographs.

After the visit, Lewis headed to the F1™ Party sponsored by Abbey and Santander, to help raise vital funds for a new Heart and Lung Centre at the hospital.

As part of the evening, Lewis' bespoke Steinmetz diamond-encrusted helmet, kindly donated by Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, was auctioned raising £30,000.
