Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have a strong and positive relationship with each other. Hamilton, the seven-time former world champion, has an excellent sense of fashion. He treats Grand Prix weekends as an opportunity to showcase his stylish clothing choices.
Hamilton is widely considered a fashion icon and is often regarded as the most stylish man on the current F1 grid. Recently, his Mercedes teammate, Russell, was asked about 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 attention and cameras are focused on him.
During a Mercedes event over the Australian GP weekend, the Mercedes drivers had a fun conversation with the host. When asked about their style icons, Russell quickly chose Hamilton as his pick, leading to laughter and a smile from Hamilton.
Although Hamilton and Russell’s recent appearance at the Mercedes event created an online buzz, Hamilton believes it will be challenging to match Red Bull’s dominance in the current season. The 26-year-old Verstappen comfortably won the first two races of the season.
Currently, Hamilton is in ninth place in the drivers’ standings, with only eight points. The Mercedes W15 car is steadily improving, but still lags far behind Verstappen’s RB20 and his Red Bull teammate. Hamilton, with his vast experience, understands the dynamics of the sport and does not expect 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.
