Lewis Hamilton, the former seven-time world champion, has impeccable taste when it comes to style. He treats Grand Prix weekend as his personal red carpet and comes up with eye-catching clothing pretty much every time!

Lewis Hamilton is an out-and-out style icon and is probably the most stylish man on the current F1 grid. His Mercedes teammate, George Russell, was recently asked to name his style icon and he did not waste any time in naming his teammate as his style guru.

Whenever the 39-year-old enters the paddock, it is a big event as the attention focuses on him with all the cameras pointing in his direction.

In a Mercedes event during the ongoing Australian GP weekend, the Mercedes boys had a fun conversation with the host. Their conversation went like this:

Interviewer: I’d like to know from you both, who are your style icons?

Russell: Lewis Hamilton!!

The moment the interviewer asked the question, Russell was quick to admit that Hamilton is the one he follows when it comes to style. At this moment, there was a huge chuckle at the event and it also got a slight smile out of the latter.

Lewis Hamilton claims it will be ‘very hard to catch’ Max Verstappen in 2024

While Hamilton and Russell’s recent outing, during a Mercedes event, has made immense noise on the web, the former feels it will be difficult to catch Red Bull’s Max Verstappen during the ongoing campaign. The 26-year-old has won the first two rounds of the ongoing campaign quite comfortably.

Lewis Hamilton is currently in ninth in the driver’s standings with only eight points to his name.

The fact that Max has 50 points and we only have eight points after two races, if you just think logically about it – you have to be conscious that it’s a very long season also so things can change – but it’s going to be very hard to catch those guys.
Lewis Hamilton said in an interview with Sky F1

The Mercedes W15 is an evolving machinery but despite this, it is nowhere near the might of the RB20 that Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez are driving at Red Bull. Hamilton on the back of his wealth of experience, understands how the sport works and thus, does not see any miracles happening.

The F1 carnival is currently in Melbourne for the Australian Grand Prix. Considering the 39-year-old’s comments, the W15 is and will continue to be a bubbling topic of discussion during the ongoing weekend.
