And Lewis Hamilton, 36, stood out from the crowd in a purple outfit on Friday and rocked pigtails as she stepped out in Austria ahead of the 2021 Styrian Grand Prix.

The Formula One driver was experimenting with a new do – having previously just pulled his hair back – as he strolled through Spielberg in his colourful look.

Lewis proved he has expensive taste as he sported Dior trainers which he teamed with spotless white socks.

The racing car driver shielded his eyes from the glorious sun with stylish shades and protected himself from the novel coronavirus with a face mask.

The Formula One campaign continues this weekend as the Styrian Grand Prix takes centre stage in the first of a double-header at the Red Bull Ring circuit in Austria.

It comes just a week after the French Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen extended his lead to 12 points over Lewis in what was a thrilling race from start to finish.

Max started the race on pole but immediately handed Lewis the initiative with an uncharacteristic error.

Red Bull outfoxed their Mercedes counterpart with a brilliant two-stop strategy however, which saw the Dutchman overtake a helpless Lewis at the death to claim his third victory of the campaign.

With Red Bull winning three races in a row, they are creeping ahead in both the driver and constructor championships after seven races.

Nonetheless, the campaign goes on, and it was Mercedes who won both of the two races in Austria last year, an outcome which is less expected this time round.

The Styrian Grand Prix is set to take place on Sunday, June 27, with the race getting underway at 2pm BST.

The first and second practice sessions will take place on Friday, June 25, with each session lasting an hour.

The final practice session starts at 11am on Saturday morning, before qualifying gets underway on the same day at 2pm.
