As Lewis Hamilton gears up for the United States Grand Prix in 2024, the seven-time Formula 1 World Champion has added another prestigious role to his already impressive résumé: co-chair of the 2025 Met Gala. Known not only for his racing achievements but also for his bold sense of style, Hamilton shared his thoughts on how he stacks up against his fellow Met Gala chairs in the world of fashion.

When asked about his fashion sense compared to his co-chairs, Hamilton confidently stated, “I don’t feel like I’m being compared with any of these guys in style. I mean, I hold my own.” Despite being surrounded by some of the fashion world's most influential figures, the British racing icon feels he has carved out his own unique space in the fashion world. He added, "They're in their leagues, in their own spaces," but expressed confidence in his ability to make a statement on his terms.

This Met Gala co-chair role further solidifies Hamilton’s impact beyond the race track. Over the years, he has been known to push boundaries in fashion, often turning heads with his daring looks at high-profile events. From his support for emerging designers to his appearances in distinctive outfits, Hamilton has become a fashion-forward figure, merging his passion for style with his platform as an athlete.

‘God knows how long they’ve had that’, Lewis Hamilton on Red Bull controversy

As Hamilton shifts focus from the fashion world back to Formula 1, he also weighed in on Red Bull’s recent controversy involving the bib adjustment system. Red Bull’s innovation, which involved adjusting the front bib or T-Tray on their car, raised questions about how long the team has been using this tactic. Hamilton, however, was quick to applaud their ingenuity. “I think the name of our sport is all about innovation. Red Bull has been the leader, and they’ve innovated,” he said.

While the system may have given Red Bull an edge, Hamilton acknowledges that such technical advancements are part of the sport’s competitive spirit. “At the end of the day, they did a better job. God knows how long they’ve had that, and they’ve been winning championships. Maybe that stops now,” he mused, though he emphasized that Red Bull’s dominance won’t end solely due to this revelation.

With the US Grand Prix approaching, Hamilton continues to focus on both his racing and personal passions, showcasing his ability to excel in multiple arenas—from the fast-paced world of Formula 1 to the glamorous stage of the Met Gala.
