Mercedes endured a season to forget in 2022, and Formula 1 giant Lewis Hamilton is making up for lost time by creating new memories in the off-season. The veteran recorded a career-worst sixth-place finish this year, while Red Bull rival Max Verstappen sauntered to a successful title defence.
This was also the first season in which Hamilton has failed to win a single race since joining F1’s ranks with McLaren back in 2007. The seven-time world champion recently went so far as to say he grew “sick and tired” of Mercedes’ car in 2022, feelings that were particularly exacerbated by the W13’s porpoising issues in the first half of the season.
It seems only right the frustrated F1 favorite has an opportunity to let his hair down after ending the year with one final retirement in Abu Dhabi. And Hamilton did just that with a post-season trip to Egypt, where he’s been seen hanging out with supermodel Naomi Campbell.
The 37-year-old posted pictures from a recent Dior catwalk event in Cairo, where he took in a show with the Giza necropolis as a backdrop. Hamilton shared images watching alongside fashion friend Campbell, as well as his own tour of the pyramids and a night-time laser display, to boot.
