Lewis Hamilton has revealed he felt an 'outsider' at school, where he says he was bullied for being black.

Hamilton, who attended John Henry Newman Catholic School in Stevenage, said: 'I know what it feels like to be an outsider. As a kid I was always last pick for the team in the playground. I was one of only three black kids in my school. 

'I know the sadness that comes with feeling like you don't fit in or not being accepted for who you are. And I know what it's like to be bullied for it too.
