It’s no secret that Lewis Hamilton has been struggling from the start of the 2022 F1 season. The reigning champion has no wins to his name this year. His Mercedes team is in third place with the likes of Ferrari and Red Bull dominating the grid. But even when he’s not winning on the track, the 37-year-old shines off it with a series of stylish outfits that have been winning over fans.


In Miami, Hamilton’s outfits were certainly pleasing to the eye, but his watch collection grabbed attention. His IWC watches stole the show and interestingly, his watch collection also matches with NFL legend Tom Brady.
