F1 Twitter Left Howling as Rap Icon Future Is Sensationally Mistaken for Absent Lewis Hamilton at the MET Gala

The world’s most prestigious fashion event, Met Gala, happened recently. With rumors that Lewis Hamilton was to be dressed by African-American fashion stylist Law Roach; fans could not wait. The seven-time world champion, however, did not show up.

After a hiatus of two years, the gala event was reported to be back in full strength. Lewis is known for having a great sense of fashion, especially on Friday morning when he walks into the paddock. He is also known for using the platform for raising his voice when needed.

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.” 

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.
