Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have a strong and positive relationship with each other. Hamilton, the former seven-time world champion, has excellent fashion sense. He treats Grand Prix weekends as an opportunity to showcase his stylish clothing choices.
Hamilton is widely regarded as a fashion icon and is often considered the most stylish man in the current F1 grid. Recently, his Mercedes teammate, Russell, was asked to name his style icon, and he immediately chose Hamilton as his fashion mentor.
Whenever the 39-year-old Hamilton enters the paddock, it becomes a significant event as all the attention and cameras are focused on him.
During a Mercedes event at the Australian GP weekend, the Mercedes drivers had a fun conversation with the host. When asked about their style icons, Russell quickly named Hamilton as his choice, leading to laughter and a smile from Hamilton.
While Hamilton and Russell’s recent appearance at the Mercedes event created a buzz online, Hamilton believes it will be challenging to catch up to Red Bull’s dominance in the ongoing campaign. The 26-year-old Verstappen has comfortably won the first two rounds of the season.
Currently, Hamilton is in ninth place in the driver’s standings with only eight points. The Mercedes W15 car is continuously improving, but it is still far behind the RB20 driven by Verstappen and his teammate at Red Bull. Hamilton, with his vast experience, understands the dynamics of the sport and does not expect any miracles to happen.
The F1 carnival is currently taking place in Melbourne for the Australian Grand Prix. Considering Hamilton’s comments, the performance of the W15 car will be a hot topic of discussion throughout the weekend.
