Fashion striker Lewis Hamilton’s ability to pull off the “weird” look earns the respect of his rival

Every driver in Formula 1 has his own unique style. They appear in the paddock, wearing clothing that best describes their personality. Lewis Hamilton has never missed an opportunity to show off his dress sense. He always shows up at the races, dressed sharp and sometimes too flashy for some people’s liking. However, fellow networker Charles Leclerc has been a fan of his courage to pull off some of those outfits.

When it comes to fashion sense in Formula 1, there are many drivers who are quite passionate about fashion. Considering he regularly appears for Belstaff, a subsidiary of Mercedes F1 team sponsor INEOS, George Russell is a pretty smart dresser. Charles Leclerc, before the start of the 2020 season, confirmed his partnership with high-end fashion brand Giorgio Armani. He endorsed the clothing line of the brand ‘Made To Measure’.

Recently, in an interview with Gazzetta, they asked Charles if he ever discussed fashion with Lewis. Monegasque replied: “Sometimes we discuss the brands we like. He has really good taste and a lot of courage to show off the weirdest looks when he comes on tour.”

Charles is not the only F1 driver who admires Lewis’ fashion sense. George Russell appeared for an interview where he listed his podium for best dressed drivers. Needless to say, he had his Mercedes teammate there.

When Charles Leclerc spoke about his passion for clothes and congratulated Lewis Hamilton on his collection

Every F1 driver has a hobby or a passion away from the circuit that they indulge in during their time off from the championship. It turns out that the creative aspect of designing clothes is quite appealing to the 2022 runners-up.

Speaking to the Formula 1 website in 2020, Leclerc said, “I really like the design of clothes. It’s definitely the creative element that inspires me. I can draw, but if I were to sketch my collection, I don’t think I have that level.”

“I spoke to Lewis very briefly [about fashion], congratulated him on the new collection. He’s doing a great job with the brand and I really like what he’s doing. It’s definitely something I’d like to do further.”

It would honestly make for a great episode if F1 could get the best dressed drivers together and have them discuss fashion on a podcast. Lewis, Charles, George and Pierre Gasly will definitely be on the list. Alfa Romeo’s Zhou Guanyu has attracted attention with his outfits since his arrival as well.
