Lewis Hamilton came to the Zandvoort circuit on Thursday with a very striking outfit. The Brit was completely dressed in orange. A hint to the Dutch fans, or just a deliberate first touch to drive the fans crazy.

Orange Hamilton

Hamilton has a reputation for bringing remarkable outfits to the track. The Briton dresses in a very unique way, and each time he comes up with a special design. For the Dutch Grand Prix he surprisingly chose an orange design. Will Buxton and Lawrence Barretto on the Weekend Warm-Up can't believe that Lewis would do this on purpose.

"Lewis was in tremendous form today. He was super zen, really calm, relaxed and really happy to be here. He looks pretty excited about this track. Focusing very much on that and not focus on Max and Red Bull. I'm impressed," said Lawrence Barretto.

Tap to Dutch fans

''He came to the circuit in orange though. Is that to be nice to the Dutch fans, or just to wind them up a little bit'', wonders Will Buxton. ''I'm sure it's neither Will'', but Buxton doesn't believe that: ''He chooses his outfits very carefully every day, so he put on that orange for a reason.''

Barretto, however, stands by his position. ''I've always been impressed with Lewis that he never really needs to do anything like that. He does the talking on the track because he's so convinced of his own ability," Barretto concludes.
