Lewis Hamilton’s flamboyant fashion draws criticism from former F1 boss

Former Formula 1 team principal Otmar Szafnauer criticised seven‑time world champion Lewis Hamilton’s “ridiculous” clothing choices, saying the British driver often arrives at circuits only after photographers are present so he can showcase his outfits. Szafnauer suggested that Hamilton’s flamboyant style may have helped him attract attention from celebrity Kim Kardashian.

Hamilton, now driving for Ferrari, is currently performing well in the season, sitting second in the drivers’ standings behind teammate Kimi Antonelli. The comments were made on the High Performance Racing podcast and have sparked discussion about the driver’s off‑track image and its impact on his public profile.
