One of the most fashionable men on the grid, if not the planet, Lewis Hamilton, is as chic as they come. The Brit has become somewhat of a trendsetter with his paddock walks. Now, even his young compatriot is walking a mile in Hamilton’s shoes. However, walking in the world champion’s shoes is no cakewalk. That is exactly what Twitter is pointing out as the two look poles apart in the same shoes.

The Mercedes social media admin posted a video of Hamilton and Russell after a team meeting. Nothing out of the ordinary, except the attire of the Mercedes men. The Brits were wearing exact same shoes. The black UVEX 85118 to be precise cost and they cost about $144.60.
We are not sure about the motivation behind the matching shoes. However, the two looked poles apart in their attires. Russell, as soon as they walked out and saw cameras, said, “Firstly, we just need to confirm that there’s no photographs of the shoes.”

Although fashionista Hamilton was in a different mood and changed the script. “Nah, you’ve got to get the shoes in. You’ve got to get these blue socks in,” said Hamilton, as he walked closer to the cameras.

The shoes clearly did not match their attires but one pulled them off more than the other, as he often does. Or that is what the fans on Instagram thought.
Fans laud Lewis Hamilton and mock George Russell as they sport the same shoes in completely different ways
The fans are mocking how hilariously contradictory the two Mercedes men look in their same shoes but in different outfits. One Instagram user commented, “George dresses like a 38 year old and Lewis dresses like a 24 year old”. Whereas, one user asked, “Why does George dress like a Tech CEO”?
There is some truth in both comments, but let’s look at some other hilarious comments from the fans:
“Safety shoes 👞 will be in fashion this year.”
“Lewis still pulls it off”
“Lol, love how ‘British’ George looks”
“lewis just easily werkin it”
“The content we never wanted but needed”
“Got those McDonalds crew shoes on”
“The two ends of the fashionable spectrum”
“Trendsetters”
Not just on Instagram, fans mocked the shoes on Twitter as well.
