Lewis Hamilton makes a bold fashion statement in an oversized co-ord as he arrives at the paddock on a scooter ahead of the F1 Grand Prix in Monaco

Lewis Hamilton cut a cool figure in an oversized striped jersey as he arrived in the paddock ahead of the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monaco on Sunday.

The British driver appeared in good spirits as he arrived in style on a small luxury boat before docking and hopping on a scooter.

He paired the navy and beige short-sleeved polo top with matching wide-leg trousers.

Lewis looked comfortable in a pair of boots and accessorized with a chunky silver chain and some stylish sunglasses.

Upon arrival in the paddock, the seven-time world champion rode his scooter to the Mercedes garage beaming.

Lewis, who has endured an uncompetitive Mercedes for the past three seasons, set the fastest lap in the opening session through the narrow streets, and the second best in the closing warm-up.

On Saturday he managed to qualify in seventh place ahead of today’s race, while Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc took pole position, beating McLaren’s Oscar Piastri in second and teammate Carlos Sainz in third.

Lando Norris took fourth place, while Lewis’ teammate George Russell qualified fifth ahead of world championship leader Max Verstappen, who only qualified sixth.

Earlier this weekend, Lewis was asked by an Italian reporter whether he thought it would be easier to learn Italian before moving to Ferrari or finishing on the podium in the remaining 17 races. He laughed.

“I think learning Italian will probably be the hardest,” he said. “But right now it’s probably less likely to get on the podium.”

It comes after Lewis told how he will focus on ‘film and fashion’ when he retires from racing.

The Formula 1 star is already thinking about his future away from the track and has revealed that he has sought advice from some of his famous friends who have already left their sport.

He told GQ’s annual creativity problem: ‘I’ve spoken to so many fantastic athletes, from Boris Becker to Serena Williams, and even Michael Jordan.

Talking to greats I’ve met along the way, who are retired – or some who are still in competition – and the fear of what’s next, the lack of preparation for the future.

“A lot of them said, ‘I quit too early.’ Or, “Stayed too long.” “When it ended, I had nothing planned.” “My whole world collapsed because my whole life was dedicated to that sport.”

‘Some said, “I didn’t plan it and it was a bit of a mess because I was really lost afterwards. There was such a hole. Such an emptiness. And I had no idea how to do that.” And I was in such a hurry to fill it at first that you’re filling it with the wrong thing…’

“But it just made me think, ‘Okay, if I quit, how do I prevent that?’ And so I started seriously finding other things that I was passionate about.”
