A 14-year-old Formula 1 fan has been granted a special wish by the Mercedes Grand Prix team, and has been given a new bionic hand.

Matthew James was born without a left hand, and wrote to Mercedes GP's boss Ross Brawn to ask if he could help out with the development of a new prosthetic version to replace his basic and unflexible one.
