While the Mercedes driver shows his immense skills on the track, off-track, he is trying to change people’s perception of fashion. “It’s a much different world naturally to F1,” he said. “F1’s obviously not focused on that and it’s obviously very corporate. There is no fashion, actually, in F1.”
Guys, Lewis Hamilton is not at the MET yet. Let alone the red carpet. You’re seeing pictures of rapper Future 😃

Hamilton said he loves an environment where he is allowed to express himself. He does that on a racetrack and he is free to do so. Even though he wasn’t at the Met Gala, rest assured he will make it up in Miami.
