Max Verstappen willing to try Lewis Hamilton’s paddock outfits but warns he “won’t look good” in them
Reigning four-fime F1 champion Max Verstappen does not hold the confidence of pulling off Lewis Hamilton's outfits. Hamilton, a seven-time World Champion, is well-known for his elegant sense of fashion on the grid.
In his last season as a Mercedes driver, Lewis Hamilton, nearing 40, continues to impress in the racing world. The British driver, who is set to join Ferrari next season, has secured two wins in the ongoing campaign after going through a win drought that lasted over two seasons.
While he continues to dazzle fans with his performances on the grid, the Ferrari-bound Hamilton is widely regarded as the most fashionable driver in the world. The 39-year-old's magnificent outfits, be it on the paddocks prior to raceday, or off the track while attending public events, never fail to draw the eyes of the motorsport enthusiasts.
It is not just the fans who appreciate Lewis Hamilton's dress sense. Reigning champion Max Verstappen, who won his fourth-consecutive F1 Drivers' Championship after the Las Vegas Grand Prix, recently lauded the seven-time World Champion's glamorous attires. In an interview with Sports Bible, the Dutchman was asked his opinion on the driver with the best fashion sense. Verstappen wasted no time in picking Hamilton, saying:
"Everyone has a bit of a different style, right? I guess who’s most involved in that is Lewis."
When asked if he thinks he could pull off Lewis Hamilton's outfits, the Red Bull driver responded by saying:
“I could put them on, (but) I don’t think I will look good."
