Lewis Hamilton might have outdone himself with his latest race day outfit, rocking a floral pink knitted balaclava.

The F1 legend has proven he can rock pretty much anything, donning some eye-catching outfits ahead of his big races.

This week is no different, with the star taking to the circuit in an all-pink look, complete with the knitted pink headwear.

He definitely looked cosy as he rocked up to Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium on Sunday, surveying the track ahead of the race.

It was an eventful race for Lewis, who clashed with Fernando Alonso on lap one. The British driver was forced into retirement.

Lewis took responsibility for the clash, and after some heated comments from Alonso, who branded him an ‘idiot’, Lewis said: ‘It doesn’t really matter what he said. I don’t care. Like I said, it was my fault, I couldn’t see him.’

Alonso later cleared up his comments, admitting he was ‘frustrated’ and said: ‘I mean, I was surprised, and for sure he now saw the incident and he takes the responsibility, which is obviously very nice from him.’

Lewis recently covered Vanity Fair, smouldering under blue light as he was photographed in a bath tub.

The star reflected on an incident a few years ago, when he faced backlash for appearing to mock nephew for wearing a ‘princess dress’.

The F1 star, who apologised at the time, told the magazine that it was ‘stupid’ of him, adding: ‘I went with just an ignorant moment’.

Reflecting on his ‘stupid’ and ‘ignorant’ behaviour, he blamed his initial remarks on his childhood, saying it was a sign of his ‘upbringing coming out’.

Elsewhere in the chat, he went on to admit that he almost quit his sport completely following the controversial end to last year’s championship.
