A few days after winning his 100th F1 victory at the Russian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton headed to Paris. The seven-time world champion had a fashionable week in the French capital, including an appearance at a star-studded event.

After attending the annual Paris Fashion Week as a model for Balenciaga, Lewis Hamilton showed up at Cindy Bruna’s birthday party. The French model celebrated her 27th birthday in style at Trattoria restaurant and by inviting several top personalities.

In addition, Paris Saint-Germain forwards Neymar and Kylian Mbappé joined Lewis Hamilton at Bruna’s birthday bash. Although this was not the first time when the French model invited PSG players to her party.

Meanwhile, taking to Twitter, Mercedes uploaded an image of Hamilton with Neymar and Mbappe from their official account and hilariously mocks PSG forwards with a famous footballing phrase, ‘can they do it on a cold night in stoke.’

A phrase made famous by commentator Andy Gray who reckoned Lionel Messi would struggle to score against a Stoke team in their home ground on a “cold winter night”. However, the Mercedes twitter account admin made a little amendment to the phrase and replaced stoke with Brackley where the Silver Arrows headquarters are located.

The tweet reads: “But can they do it on a cold rainy night in Brackley…”

“I think neither driver and neither team can have any comfort in the current situation, because there is just no gap in terms of points and I think that this is going to go very long,” said Wolff.

“Reliability versus performance is always the fine line that you need to get right, and as I said before, DNFing obviously is a no-go for the championship, and nobody, neither us nor our competitors can afford a zero-point race weekend,” he added.
