Lewis Hamilton is switching up his style.

The Ferrari driver, 41, may now have to contend with helmet hair as a result of his new look, which he debuted at the Formula 1 Barcelona Grand Prix one week after he placed second in Monaco on Sunday, June 7.

Hamilton let his signature braids down ahead of his race at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, which marks the seventh stop on the Formula 1 calendar this year. He paired his long locks, which flowed down past his shoulders, with a red team hat as he arrived at the paddock.

Flexing his recognizable fashion flair, the F1 star styled his new ‘do with a red Ferrari shirt tucked into oversize camo pants and tied the number together with red sneakers to match. He accessorized with a pair of black watches, black sunglasses and diamond jewelry.

Hamilton is bringing the heat to the paddock and to the track with more than just his style: his speed. On June 11, he opened up to reporters about how it’s “just the beginning” for him and Ferrari after his back-to-back podiums in both Canada and Monaco, per ESPN.

“This is just the beginning really for us as a team,” he explained. “I’ve come from a difficult year [in 2025] and seen changes into this season which is really positive and I think we’re moving in the right direction, but this is not it… We’ve got more to come, we’ve got more improvements to make.”

“I think we exist to win, and I don’t think we don’t exist to win by default [if another team fails],” he made clear, adding, “We exist to win through pure performance and earning it and that’s what we’re working towards.”

Hamilton turned heads in Monaco for more reasons than one. The first was his flashy fashion choices, which included a sheer top covered in sequins as he strode his way into the paddock upon his arrival at the Circuit de Monaco in the heart of Monte Carlo, on Friday, June 5.

The shirt’s see-through fabric put the various tattoos of the seven-time Formula One World Drivers’ Champion on full display. He paired his look with tan trousers, black shoes, tinted sunglasses and his signature jewelry, including a diamond necklace and earrings to match.

The second was his PDA-filled gestures towards his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, who stepped out alongside her sister, Khloé Kardashian, to support the Ferrari star at a Formula 1 race for the first time since they sparked dating rumors in February.

Hamilton also addressed his relationship with Kim, 45, for the first time while speaking with media at the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix, four months after the pair first sparked romance rumors.

“It’s amazing to have her come this weekend and have the support,” Hamilton said of the SKIMS founder during a post-race press conference. “But, you know, with my friends, incredible turnout, just overall, the people.”

“It’s amazing to have good people around you and good people supporting you and she does that for me every day,” he concluded of Kim.
