LEWIS HAMILTON has posted younger brother Nicolas the type of cheeky birthday message only close siblings could – and wished him “a very special quarantine day”.
The six-time F1 champion tweeted greetings to the “club totting, big bald bubble head” – with a picture of the pair smiling as toddlers.
To my little brother, you are a club totting, big bald bubble head who can only count to ten when he’s barefoot or wearing sandals (cool runnings quote) happy birthday brother. Loved you since the day you was born! Have a very special quarantine day, make the most of it

And in case Nicolas was a bit off track with the general tone of the message, Lewis revved it up.
He joked that the British Touring Car Championship driver, who was 28 on Saturday, “can only count to ten when he’s barefoot or wearing sandals”.
But Lewis put the brakes on the friendly abuse by adding: “Loved you since the day you were born!
“Have a very special quarantine day, make the most of it.”
Reigning champ Lewis’s future at Mercedes has just been plunged into deeper doubt after ex-Formula One chief executive Bernie Ecclestone revealed team chief Toto Wolff might join Aston Martin.
Lewis, 35, will be out of contract whenever the 2020 season ends, having previously suggested Wolff staying would be key to him remaining too.
But for Nicolas his battle on the track is altogether different.
He was confirmed last month as fourth Team HARD driver in a Volkswagen CC, so keeping his ROKiT sponsorship.
Nicolas, who has cerebral palsy, has always rejected financial help from Lewis to forge his own racing career in specially-adapted car.
