SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Triple Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton has hailed Serena Williams as an inspiration after the world's top female tennis player hit back at comments made by former men's number one Ilie Nastase about her unborn child.

Nastase was quoted by Romanian and some British media last week as saying in response to William's pregnancy announcement: "Let's see what colour it has. Chocolate with milk?"
