Mercedes star and seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton has attained a rather quirky accolade after a recent poll on X amassed hundreds of thousands of votes.

The British star has been no stranger to success in his 17-year-long F1 career, breaking and exceeding multiple records along the way to becoming one of the greatest drivers the sport has ever seen.

Hamilton mirrored F1 legend Michael Schumacher in 2020 by earning his seventh world title and would go one better were he to scoop another title in the remainder of his career.

Furthermore, Hamilton has a record number of race wins (104), pole positions (104), and podiums (200).

The Mercedes star is not just talented on-track and is involved in multiple pursuits outside of F1. Hamilton is known for his interest in fashion, collaborating with Tommy Hilfiger and his paddock outfits are hotly anticipated most race weekends.

Additionally, the seven-time champion has co-produced Brad Pitt’s F1 movie where he is reported to make a cameo alongside a host of Hollywood stars.
