It is no surprise or a secret that Lewis Hamilton is the fashionista on the paddock, however, with the last race of the season, Lando Norris upped his game for the Abu Dhabi GP weekend leaving Hamilton and his outfit forgotten. While Hamilton has made his name and brand at the paddocks for his incredible and fancy outfits, Norris came to compete at the very end of the season.
Until now, Hamilton’s fashion has also become his “fashion week” during every race weekend with fans waiting for his outfit pictures to drop. Hamilton has become known also for not repeating any of his drippy clothes while Max Verstappen has been made fun of for owning only the Red Bull t-shirt and a white button-up.
Fans left speechless as Lando Norris beats Lewis Hamilton in his own game
With the 2023 season coming to an end and Mercedes and Ferrari preparing to settle their battle, Norris and Hamilton took a different approach to their competitiveness. While Lewis Hamilton showed up in a black leather button-up and some camouflage pants and although the driver enjoys experimenting with clothes, he was beaten by Lando Norris in a blue thawb or thobe.

Needless to say, Norris waited all season to beat Hamilton at his very own fashion week let alone the last.
The time Hamilton wore a traditional Arab outfit for Bahrain GP
Lewis Hamilton has been known for his fashion sense and his way of experimenting with different styles. Throughout the season, the driver has shown up in incredible outfits and shows just why it is his fashion week and not just a race weekend.
However, one of his outfits from 2015 was the traditional Arab wear the Briton wore a thawb and a kuffiya for the Bahrain GP in 2016. It was the time when the driver was still understanding the importance of fashion and his want to express himself however, he showed up in a cultural outfit and left very surprised.
Fans loved the new look and praised the driver for appreciating their culture. The driver talked about his attire saying, “Nothing but love and respect for this culture, and Bahrain!! Feeling royal!”
The Briton may have lost the battle for the best outfit but he definitely did it first and took the spotlight all for himself.
