The Mercedes driver was doing a photoshoot with the Wall Street Journal, as he is going to be the face of the magazine of this month’s issue. In behind the scenes of the shoot, Hamilton can be seen wearing an all-white outfit, while driving a Tarform motorcycle.

However, in another video, it was quite the contrast. This time Lewis was wearing an all-black outfit with sunglasses while taking the same Tarform motorcycle for a short ride.

How did Lewis do this past weekend in Austin?

Hamilton was preparing for another battle against arch-rival, Max Verstappen at the Circuit of the Americas. The Knight was trailing in the title race against the Dutch driver by six points but was hoping to bridge the gap at the United States Grand Prix.

However, even though Hamilton pushed the Red Bull prodigy to the limit, he failed to beat him. Verstappen grabbed another win this season, that saw him extend his lead by twelve points in the championship.

Now with the upcoming Mexican Grand Prix, the Mercedes driver will hope to beat the 24-year-old and reclaim the top spot in the driver’s championship
