Hamilton crowned CHAMPION in stunning end to 2024
Lewis Hamilton has clinched a remarkable title in 2024, despite a challenging final season with Mercedes. The seven-time Formula 1 World Champion secured the championship, even as his on-track performance faltered. His disappointing 2024 season saw him finishing seventh in the drivers’ standings, trailing behind his teammate George Russell in both qualifying and race results. Hamilton’s final race with Mercedes at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix ended in a commendable fourth place, despite starting from 16th position. This marked his 246th and last race with the team, closing the chapter on his long association with Mercedes.
However, despite the lackluster results on the track, Hamilton experienced success off it. As he prepares to join Ferrari in 2025 in a bid to capture an eighth World Championship before retiring, he was recognized for his fashion sense throughout the year. The British racing icon was named co-chair of the prestigious 2025 Met Gala, an honor he expressed great pride in, calling it a ‘beyond honored’ moment. Hamilton’s passion for fashion has been well-documented, and 2024 saw him further his influence in the industry, including collaborations with Dior, among other ventures.
The accolades continued for Hamilton as he was named ‘Style Champion’ in the annual GQ Style Championships. The title, voted on by GQ readers and social media fans, saw Hamilton outshine numerous celebrities, including rapper A$AP Rocky, actor Daniel Craig, and musician Kendrick Lamar. The competition followed a knockout format, with Hamilton ultimately defeating Australian actor Jacob Elordi in the final.
While Hamilton’s racing career in 2024 may not have been his finest, his off-track achievements have garnered significant attention and recognition. His fashion-forward presence and influence in the world of style have added to his legacy, making him not only one of the most successful drivers in Formula 1 history but also a standout figure in the broader entertainment and fashion industries. As he looks to the future, his transition to Ferrari could offer another chance for glory on the track, but 2024 has proven that his influence extends far beyond motorsport.
