It is almost eight years since Lewis Hamilton was denied entry to the Royal Box at Wimbledon due to a wardrobe malfunction.
The Mercedes driver was on course to watch the final between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, in which the Serbian came out on top in four sets. Hamilton, though, fell short of Wimbledon’s strict dress code and was turned away - a decision that was backed by the tournament’s VIP security chief, Alan Chalmers.
Hamilton, who has long been known for his flamboyant dress sense, was donning a floral shirt and a hat but missed out after he failed to wear a jacket or a tie. It quickly caused a divide, especially on social media, but Chalmers fully backed the decision.
