Fashion is an integral part of Hamilton’s identity, with the 40-year-old collaborating with high-fashion brands such as Tommy Hilfiger in 2018, and most recently Dior in 2024, whilst also being named as co-chair for the 2025 Met Gala.

Hamilton has also branched out into the film industry, and has played an instrumental role in Brad Pitt’s upcoming movie release - F1.

Alongside Pitt, who will star in the movie as fictional racing driver Sonny Hayes, Hamilton acted as co-producer on the upcoming F1 film, where the champion will reportedly make a cameo.

The British racing driver is also an advisor on the Joseph Kosinski-directed film, where he was consulted on details of the film and whether they mirrored the reality of F1.

Speaking to The Sunday Times in late 2024, Hamilton revealed not only his role in the upcoming film, but also his desire to implement diversity in the filmmaking process, which included a female technical director.

“I want to be able to tell diverse stories. Film has changed my life — there is so much inspiration I have received,” he said.

“That was important to me. I lived with my dad, but I was really raised by my two mums and my two sisters. I grew up around a lot of female energy, powerful women. Most of the people on my team are women, the women hold it down.”
