Lewis Hamilton has spoken candidly about his attempts to repair what he says has been "not the easiest of relationships" with father Anthony.
The six-time world champion was managed by his father when he started in Formula 1 in 2007.
But that working relationship ended in 2010, after which they did not speak for a time.
"Our journey hasn't been an easy one," said Mercedes driver Hamilton on social media.
"Over time, we lost that father-son bond and it has been something we have both wanted back for so long."
The 35-year-old added: "The past couple years we've been growing closer and this winter break I asked my dad to come to visit me so we could spend some time together, just us.
"We haven't done this before, so to finally get to spend quality time with him has brought me so much happiness.
"Family is the most important thing in the world. You can't choose your family but you can make it work with them no matter what your differences. They are the ones that will be there when you have nothing."
