Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton announced Thursday he was donating $500,000 (€450,000) to help support the victims of the Australian bushfires.
Hamilton posted on Twitter: "It breaks my heart to see the devastation the Australian bushfires are causing to people and animals across the country.
"I'm pledging $500k to support the animals, wildlife volunteers and rural fire services. If you are able to, and you haven't already then you can donate too."
