In Photos: Lewis Hamilton turns heads with all-black Dior fashion statement at Las Vegas Grand Prix
Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton was spotted turning heads with an all-black Dior outfit ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The seven-time F1 world champion is arguably the most fashionable driver on the grid and is often spotted wearing the most trendy clothes while entering the paddock.
Given his stature on and off the track, Hamilton has been able to attract the biggest brands in the world of fashion to collaborate with him. The British driver recently signed a deal with the fashion behemoth Dior in 2024. The brand, which comes under the LVMH umbrella, also introduced a new snowboarding line with the 39-year-old.
The billionaire conglomerate also signed a 10-year deal with F1 that would see them promote several of its brands in the sport, including TagHuer, Moet and Dior. Ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix this weekend, Lewis Hamilton was decked out in an all-black Dior outfit including a custom-made bag while entering the paddock.
Hamilton, who would be leaving Mercedes at the end of the 2024 season, had a Dior bag that had 2013 written on it, which also signifies the year in which the Brit signed up with the German team.
Lewis Hamilton is entering the final triple-header off his tenure with the Brackley-based outfit on the back of a disappointing weekend at the Brazilian Grand Prix earlier this month.
Lewis Hamilton gives his take on a "frustrating" weekend at Sao Paulo
Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton stated that at the end of the race in Sao Paulo, he was apprehensive about returning for the final three races of the season.
As per ESPN, the seven-time world champion said:
"In the moment that's how I felt like I didn't really want to come back after that weekend. But I think that's only natural. It's frustrating when you have a season like this, which I'm pretty sure I won't have again, or at least I'll work towards not having again.
"It wasn't a great feeling in that moment, but I'm here, I'm standing strong and I'm going to give it absolutely everything for these last few races."
He also responded to Toto Wolff's comments on having a "shelf life" in a positive manner and reflected:
"Honestly, I feel in the best place I've been all year mentally, and considering how bad the last race was, I think that says enough. I'm still here, still fighting and I'm going to continue to push.
"I've got a team that I genuinely still love, and even though I am leaving, I want to make sure I give them the best I can in these next races. If they provide a car that wants to stay on track then hopefully we'll have a better result."
Lewis Hamilton is currently two points behind his teammate George Russell in the Drivers' championship despite winning one more race than his compatriot this year.
