The reviews are in. And they are not good. Not good at all. The F1 Movie had its premiere in New York on Monday night and the entire Formula 1 grid was in attendance. <\/b><\/p>\n
\nWhile the critics seemed to like the film itself<\/a><\/b>, the drivers themselves came under intense scrutiny for their appearance on the red carpet. Especially from renowned fashion critic Derek Guy.

<\/p>\n \nBetter known as the ‘Menswear Guy’, the fashion industry writer was anything but impressed by the appearance of the Formula 1 drivers at the movie premiere<\/a><\/b>, giving their outfits scathing reviews, claiming ‘the people who dressed them failed them.’
<\/p>\n \nGuy is not a fan of F1, so had no prior biases as to teams or drivers, not even knowing the names of the drivers referring to Yuki Tsunoda<\/a> as ‘this person’ and slamming a wide variety of their fashion choices.
<\/p>\n Drivers SLAMMED at F1 Movie premiere<\/p>\n \nLiam Lawson’s pinstripe suit came under intense scrutiny, with Guy saying ‘there’s something wrong with the tailoring’ and being disgusted by his ‘chunky’ shoes.
<\/p>\n \nTsunoda was praised for his adventurousness, but slammed as ‘the outfit is just too large’. Charles Leclerc<\/a>‘s look was not working, Isack Hadjar’s decision to wear sneakers was a big faux-pas, with Gabriel Bortoleto’s $1,000 Zegna sneakers lampooned for being ‘inherently corny.’
<\/p>\n People keep asking me to do a thread breaking down why these suits don’t look great. I gather that these are famous, very well accomplished F1 drivers (I don’t know these people). Since I only talk about famous people, I will do a thread. \ud83e\uddf5 pic.twitter.com\/I17WqPRcPP<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 derek guy (@dieworkwear) June 17, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \nOnly Pierre Gasly<\/a> received some sort of praise, being called ‘the best of the group’ before Guy then decided to criticise him too.
<\/p>\n \nLewis Hamilton<\/a> was absent from the group photo, but received a positive review alongside the film’s stars Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, who all ‘looked great.’
<\/p>\n Both pairs of pants are too slim. Second person’s jacket is too short. Both would look better with traditional dress shoes. Personally dislike luxury sneakers like Zegna’s. Minimalist sneakers that cost $1,000 are inherently corny. pic.twitter.com\/rFKvDgNs3y<\/a><\/p>\n\n
