Reflecting on the bold outfit, Hamilton said, “I love Rick Owens.” He added,I don’t do it for feedback, it’s not that I’m looking for validation from anyone. It’s just that I feel great walking in with it and that’s all that matters.”

The 39-year-old explained how he loved the Italian GP outfit particularly because of the “silhouette and the shoulders”. He stated that the jacket was pure “fire” and that he got to show off a bit of his tattoo with the outfit. Hamilton liked the outfit so much that he ranked it in his top three off-track looks.

The coat didn’t have any sleeves as Hamilton showcased the tattoos on his arm. The waistcoat was a deep V-neck that highlighted the tattoos on Hamilton’s chest. Here’s a detailed look at this outfit.
