Lewis Hamilton once again showed the world that he is one of the most stylish Formula One drivers after making a statement entry in Monza.
The seven-time F1 world champion on Thursday, September 3, arrived in style in his newly acquired vintage Ferrari F40 car at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza for the media day.
It was not only his dream car that made him stand out from the other drivers but also his on-peak sartorial look.
He wore a sharp black suit and tie under a long camel overcoat, complete with sunglasses and an ivy cap.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the 44-year-old shared pictures with his new car and from the media with an emotional message for his fans.
Kim Kardashian’s beau wrote, “What a way to start a Monza race weekend. Thank you to everyone for following along this journey with me, I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have. Now it’s time to race. Forza Ferrari.”

Talking about his new acquisition, Lewis recently told Lawrence Barretto, “The F40, for me, is just the coolest looking, the lines, and the curves of the car. It’s got the most amazing, most elegant, badass back end of a car you’ve ever seen. [I wanted to] Find a unique one, and when I say unique, it had to be well taken care of, low mileage, and an authentic story.”
“I managed to find one that this guy picked up in 1991 and drove 69 km through his house and never started ever again. The passenger door had never been opened, and it was just covered in dust. It’s basically brand new,” he added.
It is worth noting that after the purchase, Lewis learned his F40's registry lists that it has the 44th engine built for that model, the same number as Lewis' driver number, making it extra special for him.
