With the cameras rolling during real Grands Prix, the drivers are just as much of a part as the actors. But when they arrived on the red carpet in New York&#8217;s Times Square to celebrate the movie, one thing stood out: their fashion sense.<\/p>\n<p>The film has received near endless positive reviews ahead of its official release later this month, but the fashion choices of several drivers weren&#8217;t so lucky. Renowned menswear critic Derek Guy had his say on X.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople keep asking me to do a thread breaking down why these suits don&#8217;t look great,&#8221; he started. &#8220;I gather that these are famous, very well accomplished F1 drivers (I don&#8217;t know these people). Since I only talk about famous people, I will do a thread.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added that he doesn&#8217;t want to &#8220;diminish the men in these clothes,&#8221; admitting it&#8217;s the &#8220;people who dressed them that failed them&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsport.com\/team\/racing-bulls-12\/12\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Racing Bulls<\/a> driver <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsport.com\/driver\/liam-lawson\/451769\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liam Lawson<\/a> came under Guy&#8217;s critique.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A pinstripe suit with a white business shirt cries out for tie,&#8221; he said of the driver&#8217;s outfit. &#8220;If you don&#8217;t want to wear a tie, then you need a more casual shirt or a more casual suit. Additionally, the shoes are too chunky for this outfit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But the biggest issue is that there&#8217;s something wrong with the tailoring. It&#8217;s very easy to spot this on a patterned fabric because the vertical lines should run &#8220;true,&#8221; which is to say straight up and down. See how these lines are swinging away from his body.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/lewis-hamilton-at-the-world-pr.jpg\" alt=\"Lewis Hamilton at the World Premiere of F1 The Movie\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" loading=\"lazy\"\/> <\/p>\n<p class=\"title\">Lewis Hamilton at the World Premiere of F1 The Movie<\/p>\n<p class=\"photographer\">Photo by: Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A properly tailored jacket should hang like a balanced scale from the shoulders. See how the front hem on these jackets don&#8217;t swing forward. In the second photo, you can see how the lines run &#8216;true.&#8217; The grey pinstripe suit simply doesn&#8217;t fit and should not be worn.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Red Bull&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsport.com\/driver\/yuki-tsunoda\/828523\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yuki Tsunoda<\/a> came under the knife next.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I commend this person for trying to be adventurous but I just don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s working on him. The outfit is just too large. The proportions on the jacket are also strange (too truncated at the bottom). But cool that he tried something different.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsport.com\/driver\/pierre-gasly\/19626\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pierre Gasly<\/a> was commended, being named the &#8220;best of the group&#8221;. But even he wasn&#8217;t safe.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The best of the group but the jacket is too short and the pants are too slim, causing them to catch on his legs. I think he would look better in a longer jacket and slightly fuller pants, as well as shirt collar points that reach his lapels.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Shoulders strike me as too wide and trousers are too long. This can be a style (1980s Armani-esque). I just don&#8217;t feel it&#8217;s working here. I think this would look better with narrower shoulders, slightly trimmer pants, and less break.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsport.com\/driver\/isack-hadjar\/827922\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Isack Hadjar<\/a> also came under fire, especially for his lack of dress shoes, and Gabriel Bortoleto&#8217;s Zegna shoes likely didn&#8217;t make the impression he wanted them to.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Some people will say I&#8217;m old fashioned,&#8221; Guy admitted. &#8220;But I think these three guys [Brad Pitt, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsport.com\/driver\/lewis-hamilton\/1278\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lewis Hamilton<\/a>, and Damson Idris] at the premiere looked great. And look: their outfits follow basic tailoring principles: jackets bisect halfway from collar to floor; jacket silhouette flows into trousers. Outfits don&#8217;t look old fashioned.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While this thread from Guy was seen over 2.4 million times, it&#8217;s the movie that stole centre stage yesterday in New York. With direction from Joseph Kosinski and input from Hamilton, amongst a number of other talented individuals, it&#8217;s set to be the summer blockbuster of the year when it&#8217;s released globally on 25 June and in the US two days later.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>In this article<\/p>\n<p>    Alex Harrington\n<\/p>\n<p>    Formula 1\n<\/p>\n<p>Be the first to know and subscribe for real-time news email updates on these topics<\/p>\n<p>    Subscribe to news alerts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The\u00a0F1 movie world premiere was a highlight of the season for many Formula 1 fans who have been&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":193145,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4103],"tags":[70939,4199,72727,707,4200,969,79,970,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-194331","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-f1","8":"tag-canadian-gp","9":"tag-f1","10":"tag-f1-canadian-grand-prix","11":"tag-formula-1","12":"tag-formula1","13":"tag-nosyndicate","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-trendingteam","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114704273244711658","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194331"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194331\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
