You could discuss how hypocritical, unethical or frivolous the fashion world is and how that could collide with his (superficial) defense of certain values, but aside from that I would say the guy is quite stylish.
Surely as a self confessed Lewis Hamilton supporter, you'd know he's been pushing for change in the fashion world for over 2 years - https://fashionweekdaily.com/tommy-hilfiger-lewis-...
2 things came to mind regarding LH:
1) Do people think Max/AD situation has mentally stayed with LH and affecting his performance?
2) Does he need a change to say something like Ferrari to just get a fresh new enviornment? Granted it's better to see what Merc come out with next year but for 2024 it might be time for a change if it still looks like a flop?

If he cannot stand the strategic cock up at Mercedes, how the hell would he cope at Ferrari? 1) Do people think Max/AD situation has mentally stayed with LH and affecting his performance?

No, he's done a great job with what he's had and has just run into a lot of bad luck. 1) Do people think Max/AD situation has mentally stayed with LH and affecting his performance?

Whilst a Hamilton/Ferrari pairing would be about the biggest story in sport, it's hard to see it happening.Chamon_Lee said:

I think you missed the fact that he was just in with a legitimate chance to win a race for the first time since last year. 1) Do people think Max/AD situation has mentally stayed with LH and affecting his performance?

Lewis correctly analysed that the best chance of winning the race was keeping track position. That is clearly obvious because the red bull is sufficiently faster than the Mercedes that to give up track position (even for better tyres) would be to give up the win.
Based on what they discussed the morning ('we will take risks to win') Lewis just assumed the team would also maximise the chance of the win.
Then they bring in Russel, which is out of step with how Lewis believed that they would act based on the plan from the morning.
Not sure that lewis did anything wrong.
As for the question of whether Lewis needs a new environment - no. Yesterday he went from swearing at the team (from emotion boiling over), to talking to toto, to giving an interview where he talked about the positives from the day and how he will draw encouragement from the many of them.
I think he's in just the right place, they just need to get the car sorted. His performance is above Russel, with the right car (one that is in contention) he'll go even further than he is right now against Russel, in my view. (i.e. Lewis has more headroom).

Lewis to Ferrari will never happen but my god it would be some story!!! I do have a soft spot for the red cars and maybe someone like Lewis is exactly what they need, they’ve got a quick car but terrible race craft, he could work marvels there, I’d love to see it
It would be a huge kudos to do what Michael did, and what Seb and Fernando tried, but couldn't achieveBoom78 said:

Their car isn't as quick as the beginning of the season. The major problems with Ferrari is the total chaos and poor strategy - I don't see Lewis (or any other driver) coming in and fixing those fundamental issues. Ferrari need another Ross Brawn in order to succeed.

Lewis at Ferrari ? You cannot be serious ?1) Do people think Max/AD situation has mentally stayed with LH and affecting his performance?

That would be too big a challenge for him.
