The inaugural Jeddah Grand Prix has kicked off with the two practice sessions on Friday. However, the Briton is as much under the lens for his on-track performances as he is for his gripping ensemble over the weekends and beyond. More recently, he walked into the paddock in Jeddah wearing a green tracksuit and white sneakers from Gucci. The T-shirt is available on Gucci.com for $650.

The Briton’s T-shirt read, “Snakes are nice but here’s an advice. To hug a snake can be a mistake.” His fashion choices are often backed with a manifesting thought. As he said in an interview reported by Motorsport, he wants his daring fashion choices to open people’s minds. Moreover, he believes that it serves as a great distraction from the sport.

“I love being able to separate from the sport, and the intensity of this whole season is difficult for everyone that’s at the track. So to be able to have something else, another outlet, that you can focus on helps take the weight off it,” said the Silver Arrows driver as reported by Motorsport.

Lewis Hamilton’s love for fashion is not a tokenistic move. He is inspired by the underrepresented talents in the world of fashion. No doubt he was great friends with one of the legends of luxury streetwear, Virgil Abloh.

Hamilton believes F1 is altogether a different spectrum than the world of fashion. “F1’s obviously not focused on that and it’s obviously very corporate. There is no fashion, actually, in F1,” said Hamilton.

“I love that environment where I’m able to be able to express myself. I now do that on the racetrack. And I feel free to be able to do so.” he added.

His bold fashion statements have been subjected to debate at times but the F1 legend hardly seems to care. Tell us what you think about the same.
