Which soccer club does Lewis Hamilton support? Mercedes star spills the beans

F1 icon Lewis Hamilton has opened up about his allegiance to Premier League club Arsenal FC. A seven-time world champion and one of the greatest professional drivers of all time, Hamilton has been proving his mettle on the race track for nearly two decades.

Beyond the racetrack, the 39-year-old Mercedes legend, who is set to join Ferrari come next season, remains one of the global ambassadors of Formula 1.

However, despite his F1 commitments, Hamilton is also interested in other sports. Hailing from England, the seven-time champion maintains a strong connection to the football culture of his nation.

In a recent interview with GQ, when asked about his favorite soccer team, Hamilton responded:

"Arsenal."

Under the managerial leadership of former club captain Mikel Arteta, Arsenal have been in sublime form this season. After delivering poor performances for the better part of a decade, the north London club came agonizingly close to winning their first Premier League title in nearly two decades.

The Gunners have continued their display of exceptional football on the pitch, as they contend for the title once again, this time in a three-horse race with rival clubs Manchester City and Liverpool.

Lewis Hamilton, clearly impressed by what he is seeing, expressed his elation with Arsenal's resurgence in recent seasons. When asked if he is happy with the team's results, he said:

"Of course, I'm so happy. I have been waiting for this my whole life."

Formula 1's fashion icon Lewis Hamilton on exploring his creativity

Beyond the race track, Hamilton has often been seen as one of the most fashionable athletes on the planet. It is no secret that the Briton possesses a keen eye for fashion trends and creative expression, something which started when he was seeing someone in Los Angeles.

From experimenting with his hair, tattoos, and jewelry to venturing into music, fashion, and filmmaking, Lewis Hamilton has continuously pushed the boundaries of conventional expectations for a racing driver.

Reflecting on his creative process, Hamilton shared insights into his imaginative mind during another recent interview with GQ and said:

"My mind is always moving. I have really, really vivid dreams; I have to wake up and write them down. I’ll have visions of something I’m designing. Or sometimes it’s music. Sometimes I have a song playing in my head. I’ll get up and go downstairs, play it on the piano, record it, and it becomes a part of something that I’m doing."

In his final season as a Mercedes driver, Lewis Hamilton and his crew are now preparing for their trip to the United States, starting with the Miami Grand Prix at the Miami International Autodrome.

So far, the Briton has struggled for form in the 2024 season and finds himself ninth in the F1 drivers' standings after five races.
