Hamilton shows his colours ahead of 'El Clasico'

Formula 1 champion backing Barcelona

Lewis Hamilton backs Barcelona ahead of Sundays 'El Clasico' football match against Real Madrid.

Hamilton, well known for being an Arsenal fan, thanked the Spanish giants for sending him one of their shirts.

"I just wanted to send a huge thank you to FC Barcelona for sending me this shirt," said Hamilton. "I'm so, so grateful.

"I'm a massive fan and I'm so proud of you guys and I'll be watching this weekend."
