Charles Leclerc Joins Lewis Hamilton’s Close Friend Irina Shayk for a Vogue Shoot

To all the Charles Leclerc fangirls out there: What would you have liked the Monegasque to become if he wasn’t an F1 driver? We know most are going to say a model, and we wouldn’t disagree. After all, both Ferrari boys are as handsome as drivers get on the grid. P.S., we’re excluding James Hunt from the list for the Ferrari Boy’s sake. Nonetheless, Charles Leclerc was recently spotted with his future teammate Lewis Hamilton’s friend Irina Shayk for the Vogue shoot. 

Lewis Hamilton while accepting his GQ Global Creativity Award, talked about how he only discovered his creative side, which included his love for fashion, once he started to succeed in Formula 1. As far as F1 fans are concerned, the 7X champ is the F1 fashion maestro, who always arrives in the paddock in something unique and fashionable, and is invited to every major fashion show across the globe. 

So it is only natural for the Brit to have friends in the fashion industry, among whom, Irina Shayk is one. If I had a dollar for every time someone thought Hamilton was dating Shayk, I’d be a millionaire, but the two are just good friends. They were last spotted together at the start of this year in Paris, just four days after the Russian model was spotted with her rumored love, Tom Brady. Irina Shayk also posted two stories on her Instagram wishing Lewis Hamilton a happy birthday.

And now, Lewis Hamilton’s future teammate Charles Leclerc seems to be following in the Brit’s footsteps and stepping more and more into the fashion industry. The Monegasque recently shot with Irina Shayk for Vogue Italia for the May issue of the magazine. Vogue Italia’s Twitter account posted, “Among racing cars and mechanics in the pits, the top model, Irina Shayk, cover star of the May issue, engages in a fashion challenge with the Ferrari drivers, Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc: ‘It’s impossible to remain indifferent to such a special atmosphere’.”

Charles Leclerc has also previously shot with Vogue Italia, with Irina Shayk working with Vogue for years. Can we expect an all-Ferrari lineup for the Vogue cover next year, when the fashion icon Lewis Hamilton joins Charles Leclerc at the Italian stable? After all, the duo has already made plans to do the other things they like together. 

Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton to Collaborate on a Song and Celebrate Together with their Latest Initiatives

Charles Leclerc seems to be following each of Lewis Hamilton’s passions one by one. First came the music, as Monegasque released his first song on Spotify. Then he opened an Ice Cream chain, while Lewis Hamilton has Neat Burgers. And now she is posing for a Vogue shoot.

Nonetheless, Charles Leclerc was recently asked if he and Lewis would collaborate on a song since the Brit will be his teammate next year. And Leclerc replied, “I don’t know, I haven’t spoken about music too much with Lewis yet. We discussed it last year and he was telling me that he loves music and I don’t know. I’ll speak with him from next year onwards about a potential collaboration.”

But that’s not all, Lewis Hamilton launched his latest venture, Almave, a non-alcoholic tequila brand. Charles Leclerc announced this month about his newest venture with LEC, an ice cream company that specializes in low-calorie ice creams. The duo even plans on celebrating together with their latest campaigns, as Leclerc said, “I spoke to Lewis at the track the other day; he developed a new soft drink, and I developed my ice cream. So when he comes to Ferrari, we will celebrate with my ice cream and his drink.”
