Lewis Hamilton showcased his quirky fashion sense once again as he stepped out in a bright red coord ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi at Yas Marina Circuit on Friday.

The Mercedes F1 racer, 39, commanded attention as he stepped into the Paddock wearing a long ʙuттoned red shirt featuring two large pockets on the chest.

He paired his long-sleeved garment with some very large flared trousers.

To finish his quirky ensemble, he wore a pair of chunky black boots and large rectangle-shaped sunglᴀsses.

Lewis gripped his phone in one hand and appeared happy in spirits despite being eliminated from qualifying in Q1 of his final F1 race for Mercedes on Saturday.

During Lewis’s race, a bollard got caught under his car, causing Lando Norris to take pole position.

The incident caused him to miss out on the eighth world crown that was his heart’s desire, a blow from which he has struggled to recover.

On Saturday, on a flying lap, he collected the stray plastic pole, as he was scrambling for survival too late on in Q1.

The handicap caused him to qualify 18th, though he provisionally starts 16th once penalties are applied to others.

‘That was bad man, Jesus,’ he said.

‘Yes, it was bad,’ responded Toto Wolff, the Mercedes team principal, who dropped his head in dejection as Lewis bombed out on the eve of his 246th and valedictory race for the Silver Arrows.

Toto later said that Lewis being sent out as the seconds ticked down was ‘idiotic and inexcusable’.

George Russell, in the other Mercedes, just clambered to safety, going on to qualify seventh before being promoted a place when Haas’s Nico Hulkenberg was penalised for overtaking in the pit tunnel.

Lewis was matching George until the bollard – knocked into his path by Haas’s Kevin Magnussen – intervened.

‘You couldn’t make it up, you really couldn’t, but it is what it is,’ sighed Hamilton. ‘We gave it everything. I gave it everything.

‘The car was in a good place. Every practice session went well.

‘But when we got to qualifying we didn’t perform as a team in terms of the timing.

‘I was the last car on track. Then, I got the bollard and I lost all downforce. It couldn’t have gone worse.

‘I would have loved to get a podium for the guys this weekend, but it just didn’t work out.’
