F1 G.O.A.T. and fashion god are two ways to describe Lewis Hamilton. This has gotten him a lot of attention from fashion brands, especially Tommy Hilfiger. The two have been collaborating since the fall of 2018, and the Tommy X Lewis line has been out. Besides that, the Mercedes driver is also the brand ambassador for Tommy Hilfiger, and to celebrate their friendship, they had an exclusive interview in Shanghai.

Tommy Hilfiger himself came down to talk to Lewis Hamilton after the Shanghai Grand Prix, and that’s where the two industry giants interviewed each other. In a format where two celebrities discussed their friendships, passions, and more, Lewis Hamilton revealed his motive for working on the $300 million F1 movie with Brad Pitt and hinted towards more.
