Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton created a buzz with his arrival at the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday.
Hamilton showed up in a sparkly, purple jumpsuit covered in sequins while sporting sunglasses as he walked to his camp at Hard Rock Stadium. Because of the wide bottoms, some fans compared his outfit to a shimmering trash bag.
The 35-year-old is known for wearing stylish outfits ahead of races. He also wore a lustrous outfit ahead of Friday’s practice. The dark green jacket and pants sparkled in the sun as he walked to his camp.

Hamilton qualified in 13th position on Saturday. He later admitted he was disappointed with his performance, as it was just “one of those days.” The seven-time world champion has won a total of 103 races in his career—most in Formula 1 history. His most recent win came in 2021 in Saudi Arabia.
