F1 drivers often have spoken about some quirky interests they have outside the sport. Be it cooking, music, fashion, or anything, they always have the plan to pursue it post the adrenaline-filled of F1. Charles Leclerc has also got a similar interest and dream to pursue in the future. Although, his dream coincides with what 7-time champion Lewis Hamilton has already pursued and accomplished.

As per Express UK, in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Leclerc has showered praises on Hamilton for his fashion activities. The Ferrari driver specifically appreciated Hamilton’s unique and “courageous” fashion sense. He said, “Sometimes we [Leclerc and Hamilton] discuss the brands we like. He really has [a] good taste and a lot of courage to show off the strangest looks when he comes to the circuits.”

Hamilton launched his line of clothing apparel back in 2018 in collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger. This line was called TommyXLewis. Charles revealed to La Gazzetta his long-cherished dream to launch his clothing line. But, his team Ferrari denied him to do so. He said, “I had started the project, but I stopped. Maybe in the future.”

His former teammate Sebastian Vettel revealed this on Drive to Survive in 2020 how Ferrari asked Leclerc to shelf his fashion project. Nevertheless, the Monegasque will want to follow Lewis’s lead once he leaves the Scuderia or maybe even after his retirement from F1.
