Hamilton crowned CHAMPION in stunning end to 2024.
Hamilton clinches CHAMPIONSHIP in dramatic 2024 finale
Despite a challenging final season with Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton achieved an extraordinary milestone by winning the 2024 title.
The seven-time Formula 1 World Champion managed to secure this championship even as he struggled on the track. In his disappointing 2024 campaign, he finished seventh in the drivers’ standings and consistently lagged behind his teammate George Russell in both qualifying sessions and race outcomes.
In what was his final race with Mercedes, Hamilton showcased a commendable performance at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix by finishing in fourth place after starting from 16th position. This marked his 246th and last race with the team, bringing an end to his lengthy association with Mercedes.
Despite the lackluster results on the track, Hamilton found success off it. As he gears up to join Ferrari in 2025 for a chance at securing an eighth World Championship before retiring, his fashion sense gained recognition throughout the year.
The renowned British racing icon was appointed as co-chair for the esteemed 2025 Met Gala, an accolade he described with immense pride, referring to it as a “beyond honored” moment.
Hamilton’s enthusiasm for fashion has been extensively chronicled, and in 2024, he expanded his impact within the industry through several ventures and collaborations with brands like Dior.
Hamilton’s streak of accolades persisted, earning him the title of ‘Style Champion’ at the yearly GQ Style Championships. This honor, decided by votes from both GQ readers and social media followers, saw Hamilton outclass numerous celebrities including rapper A$AP Rocky, actor Daniel Craig, and musician Kendrick Lamar.
The competition featured a knockout format that culminated with Hamilton defeating Australian actor Jacob Elordi in the final round.
Although Hamilton’s racing career in 2024 might not have been his most outstanding, his accomplishments off the track have earned considerable attention and recognition.
His trendsetting presence and impact in the fashion world have enhanced his legacy, establishing him as not only one of the most successful Formula 1 drivers but also a prominent figure in entertainment and fashion.
As he anticipates what lies ahead, joining Ferrari presents another potential triumph on the track; however, 2024 has demonstrated that his influence reaches well beyond motorsport.
