Lewis Hamilton rocks a striking patterned waistcoat ahead of the Singapore Formula One Grand Prix

He is known for his love for quirky fashion and love for designer labels.

And Lewis Hamilton once again showed his unique fashion sense on Friday as he arrived at practice ahead of the F1 Singapore Grand Prix at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

The 37-year-old driver turned heads in a striking £880 Versace blue and purple patterned Versace waistcoat and matching bold fuchsia trousers from the Italian fashion house costing £968.

The star added £1050 Versace Chelsea boots and snazzy black Police sunglasses to his look as he sauntered around ahead of the grand prix which kicks off on Sunday.

Lewis combined his striking look with lots of bling, a chunky silver chain, a selection of rings and a stylish IWC Schaffhausen watch.

The sportsman looked cheerful as he showed off his fashion in the sun for the weekend’s main event.

The outing comes as it was revealed that Alex Albon will be competing in the Grand Prix this weekend, three weeks after he suffered respiratory problems and had to be on a ventilator.

The London-born Williams driver suffered complications from surgery when he was eliminated from the final lap in Italy with appendicitis.

But the 26-year-old insists he is ready to return to his Williams cockpit, despite Sunday’s race in humid Singapore being considered one of the toughest challenges of the year.

“My preparation for Singapore was a little different than usual, but I feel good and I have done everything I can to prepare for one of the most physical races on the calendar,” Albon said.

“I’m not underestimating how big the challenge this is going to be, but I’m looking forward to getting out on track and riding again on Friday.

“It’s a great street course and the closest race to home for me in Thailand, so I’m really excited to be here and see the fans that have come.

Return: Alex Albon is set to return for Singapore Grand Prix after breathing problems

Albon, who races under the Thai flag due to his mother Kankamol’s nationality, became ill at Monza and was replaced by the team’s reserve driver and Formula E champion Nyck de Vries.

The 27-year-old Dutchman finished an impressive ninth to score points on his F1 debut.

De Vries is on standby if Albon is unable to race on the sport’s first return to Singapore since the pandemic.
