Lewis Hamilton is an inspirational figure. Besides ruling the world of motorsport with seven world titles, the Brit is also an icon in multiple genres. The Mercedes driver, who is part of the music industry, also featured in the song Pipe under an alias.

His fashion sense is appreciated across the globe and he took another step in this industry, which he plans to enter after retirement.

Lewis Hamilton is the face of the new Valentino advertising campaign

Valentino is an Italian luxury fashion brand that was founded in 1960 by Valentino Garavani. Since 2008, Pierpaolo Piccioli has been the creative director of the luxury brand.

They started a campaign called Valentino Pink PP collection that saw the creative director design all the clothing in a single hue of pink. But until recently it was only a woman-centric campaign.

Breaking societal norms, Hamilton will be the new face of the Pink PP collection. The advertising campaign will feature Sir Hamilton in the limelight as he sports the pink hue for Valentino. The Billion Dollar Man will take center stage as they launch the first menswear collection.

Hamilton shared his gratitude as he posted a befitting photo with Piccioli. The F1 driver wrote, “I am honoured to be joining forces with Creative Director and friend, @pppiccioli and @maisonvalentino, a brand I’ve long admired, to celebrate the #ValentinoPinkPPCollection. I always strive to collaborate with likeminded teams who are committed to making the world a better place, regardless of the barriers that stand in our way.”

Looking to the future, Hamilton wants a better car in 2023

The Mercedes W13 is probably the worst car the Silver Arrows have produced for a long time. Whenever the German constructor seems to find a solution to one of its problems, a new one appears. After seven races, the team is none the wiser with its consistent bouncing problem back in Monaco.

Looking forward to the future won’t be helpful, feels the Mercedes pilot. He said, “I think we’ve got to figure out what’s wrong with this car before we can make another car. If we just started making another car we could easily get it wrong.”
