“I’ve never started a year excited for the year to follow.”
@LewisHamilton shocked the racing world by announcing he’d leave Mercedes for Ferrari at the start of the 2025 season. But before moving on, the seven-time F1 champ wants to lift his long-term team as high as he can:
“My focus is: How do I deliver the best year that this team has ever had, after all the great years we’ve had?”

“I went through this phase of understanding that I can’t race forever. Because when I stop, I’m gonna drop the mic and be happy.”
@LewisHamilton’s always been unafraid to push the boundaries through his hair, his tattoos, his jewelry. But now that he’s setting himself up for the second half of his career, he tells GQ he’s translating that boundary-pushing self-expression into pursuits beyond the track—in music, fashion, and filmmaking.
For his #GQCreativityAwards cover story, Hamilton opens up about changing lanes, discovering passions outside of racing, and preparing for life after Formula 1.

Today makes a year of my favorite Photoshoot ever. I think I’ll never be able to overcome it, the significant value that it has for me is almost indescribable. Whenever possible, I want to thank the collaborators of this essay and article. The Making (and Remaking) of Timothée Chalamet from October 15, 2020 has been my greatest gift to date. I have tried numerous times to relate my feelings towards this since the day of its disclosure. As I always say and say again, reading that article was like reading a letter written by me. I remember reading, standing still for a few seconds and then crying, thinking, "Is it possible I’m feeling this?". When I read that Timothée kept himself in a hut in Woodstock, I imagined that he was seeking to hear himself, to feel his silence make great noise within himself. It was exactly what I did in that period, I distanced myself from everything in an Irbnb house in the middle of nowhere, many things were happening within me in that same period and lasted. This level of coincidence made me reflective in the future when I read this article.
If you have a good heart and have always done everything completely correctly during your life, people discharge great expectations on you. And when you fail at all because you’re human, the world sucks you up, judges you and condemns you. You need to have good judgment, so you can keep up, I’ve learned that over time. However, self charging is almost torture. The will of liberation sometimes cries within us, I have always been the person who wants to carry the right feelings, to live in the right "way" (if there is one). There is an excerpt where Timothée shouts "I want to know how it is!" while attacking a bottle, I also wanted and still remain wanting. I remember one of those days when I was there, in the middle of nature reconnecting with my parts that, one day lost, was trying to recover, it rained almost all day.
At night, I left the house after filling my belly with grapes and stood in the middle of the bush, listening to the sweet river run as more drops of water fall from the sky on it and on my head. My clothes were soaking wet, but I couldn’t move my feet, the wet grass comforted me and the rain refreshed me. That aroma of clean air and wet earth that was present during the rain, influenced my stay. It was like a final adjustment, my final tummy ache. I recommend always let the rain fall on your head, and cry if you want, it’s a blessing. Anyway, in October, when I read the GQ article I felt more connected to a feeling than ever, it was as if Timothée was a second part of me. Different situations, yes. But we feel similar. This reading as a whole filled me; and I could feel that, no matter how it starts or how it ends, we must know that we are doing our best. Most important of all, do it with love and truth, live what you believe and desire, your life is an art that you shape with your hands. Release, let it be.
Timothée, I want to say that you are my privilege, you are like the sun and the moon and the stars, you are. Thank you for moving mountains by being just Timothée, a spirited, human boy.
"I want to go back to undefined space again. I’m chasing a feeling. "
