Outside the Pit: Unveiling Formula 1 Style and Grooming Gossip
Sure, Formula 1 drivers are known for burning rubber on the track, but have you ever wondered what these men do to look that good off the track?
Pit stops aren't just for tyres and fuel, gentlemen. They're also for a quick cleanse, hair touch-up, and a wardrobe change. After all, whether it's rocking designer men’s sunglasses, carrying a sleek briefcase, or looking effortlessly cool even in a polo t-shirt, a hat, and jogger pants, these drivers know how to make a statement both on and off the track.
So buckle up, and let's peel back the visor on some of Formula 1’s best-kept grooming tips.
1. Lewis Hamilton
As a seven-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton is a legend in the Formula 1 world. One thing he's learned over the years is to not be afraid to stand out, whether it's on the track or with his fashion choices—plain shirts just won't cut it for this prominent face in the campaign for Tommy Hilfiger's F1 team collaboration.
nd his skincare? Let’s just say the man has come a long way from just splashing his face with water. Rumours suggest that Hamilton has adopted a meticulous skincare routine that involves cleansers, moisturisers, and keeping hydrated. After all, a good engine needs the right fuel, and so does your skin.
Trying to mix up your skincare routine? Why not give LAB SERIES' Oil Control Clay Cleanser + Mask a go? Its creamy clay formula helps to wash away dirt, oil, and pore-clogging impurities, leaving your skin feeling as refreshed as a podium finish.
Top it off with CLINIQUE’s Even Better City Block Anti-Pollution SPF40/PA+++ sunblock to ward off UV rays and pollution in the air, brightening your skin for the day ahead.
2. George Russell
While he might not be a seven-time world champ (yet!), George Russell is definitely making his mark on the Formula 1 circuit.
And the young gun of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team isn't just about speed—feeling fresh and looking fresh are non-negotiables for Russell.
According to Express, he's often spotted with a full-size pillow in tow, ensuring a good night's sleep no matter where the Formula 1 2024 calendar takes him.
But that's not all! There are whisperings about his travel bag hiding a secret weapon: a facial mist, packed with ceramides or essential oils, to combat the drying effects of those long-haul flights. Talk about a pro-level skincare game!
An easy fix for quick hydration on the go is not hard to find either! BYPHASSE's Re-Hydrating Face Mist Dry-Sensitive Skin delivers a refreshing mist with rose water and chamomile extract.
For men’s perfume selections, the VERSACE Pour Homme Eau de Toilette wafts a mineral-floral aroma with deep sensual base notes, for a light but beckoning scent.
Full-size pillow aside, you can tuck away your grooming essentials into a crossbody sling bag of your choice, so they’re always close by when you need them.
3. Carlos Sainz
Carlos Sainz, Ferrari's smooth operator, is turning heads both on and off the track. But even with fans fawning over his "perfect hair," Sainz maintains an air of modesty, believing that his hair doesn't always look its best after a race, according to The Sports Rush.
Rumour has it, despite a hectic racing schedule, Sainz keeps his hair care routine simple. He reportedly sticks to washing his hair just once a day, even if it gets wet multiple times.
Why? Over-shampooing apparently makes it "too fluffy.". Guess that's how he keeps that signature Sainz style under control.
The LE SENZE Men Everyday Gel is a great option for men who want firm control over their hair without stiffness. Its unique formula provides a strong hold while maintaining a natural look and feel.
4. Charles Leclerc
Charles Leclerc, the Monegasque marvel of Scuderia Ferrari, isn't just a force to be reckoned with on the track.
Hailing from the luxurious streets of Monaco, this racing star also has a taste for the finer things in life, and his fashion is no exception.
When he's not sporting the iconic Ferrari red, he's often seen rocking a casual yet polished look, like a well-fitted polo t-shirt paired with classic jeans and loafers for shoes. But there's more to Leclerc's fashion game than designer labels.
Inspired to rock his style?
If you’re looking for more utility, try out a smartwatch or a digital watch, especially ones with adjustable watch straps to suit any occasion.
For a more Singapore-friendly take on Leclerc's style, consider pairing your favourite Tommy Hilfiger polo with chino shorts and a sleek belt.
And to keep your back pockets looking sharp, opt for a slim leather wallet or card holder like the Coach Slim Money Clip Billfold Wallet Black CH090. It's the perfect way to separate your bills and cards from loose change, ensuring a streamlined silhouette.
