He may be a Formula 1 driver, but is a dab hand at modelling too.
The racing champion posed up a storm in a recent shoot, giving cameras his best Blue Steel as he reclined shirtless in a bathtub – although he was also wearing trousers, which doesn’t seem too practical.
Lewis, 37, appears on the latest cover of , smouldering under moody lighting while partially submerged in water.
What the British motorsport star lacks in clothing, he makes up for in accessories, donning some seriously blingy jewellery.
He wears a hefty pearl necklace, bedazzled silver ring, a bangle, and diamond earrings, as he channels his inner supermodel.
Another contrasting shot shows the racing driver fully clothed in a bright pink suit, standing in a shallow pool with his hands in his pockets, with a pensive expression.
During his interview with the publication, Lewis admitted he was ‘stupid’ for mocking his nephew for wearing a ‘princess dress’, which received great backlash at the time.
A couple of years ago, Lewis had questioned his nephew’s outfit in an Instagram post, captioning the post using an embarrassed monkey emoji.
The F1 star, who apologised at the time, told the magazine: ‘I went with just an ignorant moment’
Reflecting on his ‘stupid’ and ‘ignorant’ behaviour, he blamed his initial remarks on his childhood, saying it was a sign of his ‘upbringing coming out’.
Elsewhere in his chat, he confessed he cried alone in his bedroom after suffering shocking racist abuse during his youth.
He went on to admit that completely following the controversial end to last year’s championship.
Lewis was on course to secure a record-breaking eighth world championship title at the grand prix of the season at Abu Dhabi against Max Verstappen.
However, with just a handful of laps remaining, the safety car was deployed and upon the restart, then-race director Michael Masi incorrectly and controversially allowed only the lapped cars between Hamilton and Verstappen to pass through.
As a result, the Red Bull driver, who was on fresh tyres, easily passed the Mercedes man on the last lap and won.
‘I, for sure, considered whether I wanted to continue’, Lewis said.
‘I knew what had happened. I knew what decisions had been made and why. Yes, I knew something wasn’t right.’
He continued: ‘You see things start to unfold, and my worst fears came alive. I was like, there’s no way they’re going to cheat me out of this.
‘There’s no way. That won’t happen. Surely not.
‘I don’t know if I can really put into words the feeling I had. I remember just sitting there in disbelief.
‘And realising I’ve got to undo my belts, I’ve got to get out of there, I’ve got to climb out of this thing, I’ve got to find the strength. I had no strength. And it was one of the toughest moments, I would say, I’ve had in a long, long time.’
