Lewis Hamilton wears T-shirt with his own name on it and flowery coat as F1 star prepares for Japanese GP
LEWIS HAMILTON wore another stylish outfit just days after landing himself in hot water over breaking Formula One’s attire rules.
Ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix, Hamilton – ever the fashion guru of F1 – donned a T-shirt with his own name on it.
The white T-shirt he sported had a stylish black font for his name and paired it with a colourful cartoon monster and more dashes of colour to contrast the otherwise plain black and white.
He paired this with a khaki coat which had a bouquet of flowers down each arm.
The 37-year-old has a well-earned reputation for wearing extravagant clothing and fashion accessories.
But just days ago he almost landed himself a fine by breaching the International Sporting Code of the FIA.

Prior to the Singapore Grand Prix, the seven-time world champion had been called to the stewards relating to a breach of Appendix L, Chapter III, which prohibits the wearing of certain jewellery.
Hamilton was hauled in relating to the wearing of a nose piercing.
But he was able to avoid a personal fine due to having a doctor’s note, while his team Mercedes were slapped with a £22,400 fine for failing to alert the FIA about the piercing.
Despite the drama, Hamilton went on to produce his best qualifying result of the season before his weekend crumbled on race day – finishing with a disappointing P9.
