He likes to make his own style rules and Lewis Hamilton was at it once again on Thursday – with the help of a fashion stylist of course.
The Formula One champ was pictured walking the circuit at preparation day at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix wearing a designer look by Homme Plissé Issey Miyake.
Standing out from the crowds, he wore pink trousers from the brand’s Spring 2022 collection and the Oblique jacket which retails for £549.
Standing out! Lewis Hamilton made a bold fashion choice with a cream jacket and pink trousers at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Thursday – after enlisting the help of a stylist!
His multicoloured trainers are also by the high-end fashion label and retail for £380.
Styled by @luxurylaw, he also wore a sold out pair of Police sunglasses.
The outing comes as Sebastian Vettel questioned whether Lewis is still excited by Formula One following the seven-time world champion’s downturn in results.
Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Vettel empathised with Hamilton saying it must be demoralising finishing ‘eighth, or 12th or 13th’ after spending so long ‘at the top’.

On course? Lewis arrived in Baku 75 points adrift of championship leader Max Verstappen – the equivalent of three race victories – after finishing third, 10th, fourth, 13th, sixth, fifth and eighth in the opening seven rounds
Aston Martin’s Vettel also admitted he was scared by the prospect of retiring from F1 and that he believes the sport is ‘missing’ sacked race director Michael Masi.

‘When you get to know the sport in the way I have done, and Lewis has done, winning and being at the top is what you strive for,’ said Vettel, who claimed four consecutive titles with Red Bull between 2010 and 2013.

‘Does it excite you to finish eighth, or 12th or 13th? No it doesn’t, when you know you have been first so many times – and in Lewis’ case more than any other guy.
‘George (Russell) comes in. He spent three years at Williams suffering to death at the rear of the field, scoring the odd point, and then suddenly he is eighth or 12th and life for him is amazing.
‘Everybody is different, but you need to be fair from the outside and say, look, is Lewis naturally going to be as fired up about finishing eighth as George probably is? No, and I would be surprised if he was.’
Vettel finished runner-up to Hamilton in 2017 and 2018 before he was dropped by Ferrari and then signed for Aston Martin in 2020.
