Inside Mercedes F1: Hamilton and Russell's hilarious wardrobe swap
Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, drivers for the Mercedes team, delighted fans with their amusing photo session for sponsor Tommy Hilfiger. Instead of their usual outfits, they decided to swap wardrobes.
Lewis Hamilton, known for his bold fashion choices, wore clothes selected by George Russell this time. George opted for the style of Mercedes team director Toto Wolff, dressing Hamilton in brown chinos, a black shirt, and loafers, deliberately skipping the socks.
Hamilton did not hide his satisfaction, describing the feeling of "freshness" in his ankles. He was quoted saying that his ankles have never felt such wind.
In return, Hamilton dressed Russell in a bright red coat and baggy pants, which caused a lot of laughter among fans. One of them wrote: "Lewis looks like a substitute teacher," and another added about Russell: "He looks like Slim Shady."
Formula 1 stars in an unusual edition. Better in fashion than on the track
During the photo session, the drivers were told they looked like a boy band. In this situation, Hamilton cleverly named their duo "Wrong Direction."
Besides the fashion revolution, both drivers, currently holding sixth and seventh place in the F1 standings, are hoping for a promotion during the upcoming Singapore GP.
