Lewis Hamilton, known for his bold fashion choices, this time wore clothes selected by George Russell. George opted for the style of Mercedes team director Toto Wolff, dressing Hamilton in brown chinos, a black shirt, and loafers, deliberately skipping the socks.

Hamilton did not hide his satisfaction, describing the feeling of "freshness" in his ankles, quoted saying: "My ankles have never felt such wind."

In return, Hamilton dressed Russell in a bright red coat and baggy pants, which caused a lot of laughter among fans. One of them wrote: "Lewis looks like a substitute teacher," and another added about Russell: "He looks like Slim Shady."

During the photo session, the drivers were told they looked like a boy band. Hamilton cleverly named their duo "Wrong Direction."

Besides the fashion revolution, both drivers, currently holding sixth and seventh place in the F1 standings, are hoping for a promotion during the upcoming Singapore GP.
