Hamilton steals the show at Milan Fashion Week after Ferrari triumph

The seven-time world champion finally ended his wait for a first Ferrari victory after nearly a year and a half in red, dramatically reigniting his title challenge as Kimi Antonelli was forced to retire in the closing stages of the race with a technical issue.

With Formula 1 enjoying a weekend off before the Austrian Grand Prix, Hamilton swapped the paddock for the fashion world as he headed to Milan for Ralph Lauren's Spring/Summer 2027 menswear show.

The Ferrari driver was one of the standout guests at the event, joining a star-studded lineup that included Colman Domingo, Maluma, Scott Eastwood, Henry Golding, Joe Locke and Jacob Rott. Also in attendance were Tom Hiddleston and David Lauren, with the guests gathering at the brand's elegant Milan palazzo for the unveiling of the latest Purple Label and Polo Ralph Lauren collections.

Videos of Hamilton's appearance quickly spread across social media, with the Ferrari driver embracing the spotlight as he posed for cameras in a stylish outfit and sunglasses, looking every bit the fashion model as he made his way through the event.

During the Canadian Grand Prix weekend, Hamilton was asked about Gilles Villeneuve and admitted he was only broadly familiar with the Canadian's achievements. The Ferrari driver praised Villeneuve's spectacular style and ability to control a car on the edge, describing him as one of the sport's greats before adding that he was "obviously far better" than his son Jacques.

Speaking on Sky F1 Show, Villeneuve hit back at Hamilton's comments from the Montreal weekend, revealing that he was puzzled by the Ferrari driver's remarks. The Canadian explained that he did not understand why Hamilton had felt the need to compare him with his father Gilles, especially as he could not remember having recently criticised the seven-time world champion. Villeneuve then suggested the comment may have stemmed from Hamilton's past relationship with his father rather than anything he had personally said.
