Lewis Hamilton‘s awesome and jaw-dropping fashion has continued to appear on multiple fashion pages throughout the past couple of years. The Briton has continued to expand his horizons apart from racing in the sport and delved into the fashion industry as well. Hence, Mercedes’s recent gig for hiring a stylist was received with immense uncertainty and confusion from the fans.
Lewis Hamilton recently collaborated with Kim Jones and created the Lifestyle Capsule collection with Dior. Moreover, the seven-time world champion was also spotted at multiple fashion events during the off-week in Formula 1. As a result, fashion is one of the major areas where Mercedes didn’t need to worry much as the Briton was of great help in styling the crew’s clothing.
However, Mercedes posted a job listing on their website for a stylist. The key role of the stylist was to manage non-technical driver apparel, clothing, and footwear over the race weekends. This meant that all the clothing of the Silver Arrows would be managed by the stylist and they themselves wouldn’t have much freedom in their clothing. Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari meant that he wouldn’t be bound by the stylist as George Russell and Kimi Antonelli would work with the stylist.
Fans believed Lewis Hamilton’s exit was the reason behind Mercedes hiring a stylist
In a recent tweet on X, multiple fans showcased a hilarious reaction to the peculiar job listing by Mercedes. One fan claimed that Lewis Hamilton was the team’s stylist but was bound to leave Brackley by the end of this season. Meanwhile, another fan believed that the person keeping the team afloat was ‘leaving’ and they couldn’t wait for the downfall post-Hamilton.
A particular fan further claimed that Lewis Hamilton really changed Formula 1 and the dressing of the people. Moreover, a fan added that the only fashionable person on the team was leaving as Mercedes had to hire a stylist. Another fan highlighted that Brackley would miss Hamilton in many different ways. Finally, one fan claimed that Mercedes was losing the stylist and the best driver.

By not giving in to SLH demands (reasonable term of contract, ambassadorship, etc) they lost more than just a driver.

Lewis Hamilton was a highly beneficial asset to Mercedes in multiple ways as the effect of his exit is already visible. The Briton will take all the knowledge and information to Ferrari and aim to improve the team. Hamilton has already laid out his ambitions to improve inclusivity and equality in the Italian constructor.
