Only days after the heartbreaking end to the 2021 F1 season, Charles, Prince of Wales, acknowledged Lewis Hamilton’s insane achievements as a racing driver and gifted the Briton the knighthood at Windsor Castle.
Hence, being a fashion aficionado himself, Hamilton had to approach the Prince flaunting the perfect outfit. Nothing fancy like he prefers wearing to the circuit ahead of the Grand Prix events but keeping it absolutely formal and adding a tinge of smartness.
And, well, the 7-time world championship managed to accomplish it with perfection.

It was indeed a proud moment for the entire motorsports community, as Hamilton is only the fourth driver to be earning ‘Sir’ before his name. Prior to the 7-time world champion, Jackie Stewart, Stirling Moss and Jack Brabham received a knighthood for their respective achievement in Formula 1.
Now, there are a couple of future British stars in the making in George Russell and Lando Norris. The former, in specific, is in a formidable position to win his first championship title next season.
