I imagine he's having a vent because in the UK there would probably be a lot more Lewis lovers.

This is probably his safe space :P

Ok, let’s make this interesting:

Who do you think are the top three drivers in F1 right now and how does Hamilton compare to them?

What was it he once said about men not wearing girls clothes?
My Grandma used to have curtains looking like his skirt.
Oh well, whatever makes you feel comfortable......
He doesnt seem to have any problem socially distancing. :whistling: :wink:

I appreciate that Lewis is trying to get some realatively unknown designers a spotlight at a big event. But I will never understand high fashion. His outfit and his guests outfits were not anything I would wear.
Seems like the goal of high fashion is to challenge assumptions rather than present clothes that normal people would wear.

In the picture above, it looks like he is wearing a suit with part of a wedding dress. So he can marry himself maybe?

Interesting premise, however, there are those that don't dress as ridiculously that have more.
Thus, I must ask, what, who, and especially...why in the first place, determines what is "too much" for one, and not another?
As long as it wasn't acquired illegally, I don't see how it's anyone's business to even consider it. :tongue: :happy:

Seriously, I prolly haven't earned 5% of what he's got and don't resent his situation at all; 'just wish I had the smarts and talent to duplicate the feat (minus his taste in clothing)..... :)

Stealth wealth is definitely the way to go.

You need to average $352,000 a year for 50 years to earn 5% of what Lewis has now :rofl:

He does dress like a pop star rather than a racing driver. Get some oil on your hands mate!
