The world of Fortnite continues to merge with reality as it welcomes seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton to its illustrious “Icon Series” skin collection. This collection, which already features a dazzling array of athletes, celebrities, musicians, and content creators, is set to become even more vibrant with the addition of Hamilton’s unique flair.
Lewis Hamilton’s debut in Fortnite is marked not just by digital pixels but also by a live-action trailer showcasing his in-game skin.
The trailer presents Hamilton in two distinctive styles: a bold, zig-zag coat embodying a “streetwear” look, and a second style that seems to be a creative take on a Formula 1 driver’s attire.
Notably, there’s an absence of Mercedes branding, a subtle yet significant detail considering that Hamilton has almost become synonymous with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 brand.

The Lewis Hamilton Icon Series features two outfits of the superstar driver. The first outfit sees Hamilton wear a colorful, zig-zag coat that pays homage to his signature “streetwear” look. The second look appears to be an outfit resembling a typical F1 driver’s kit.
The collection is rounded out with a surfboard-style Glider, a sword-themed Pickaxe, and a black Back Bling. According to fans on social media, this Back Bling is particularly special, as it draws inspiration from Hamilton’s own bulldog, Roscoe Hamilton, who enjoys a massive social media presence of his own.
