When Lewis Hamilton opened up on his unexpected friendship with Anna Wintour

In a GQ interaction, Lewis shared how the two chanced upon several beats which were actually common to them — tennis being one. The F1 legend also elaborated how contrary to popular perception, Anna doesn't really want to be knee-deep in fashion discourse all day long. It all then, started with a simple conversation which just kept going. He said: "We just realised we had so much more in common. She doesn't want to talk about fashion all day, she's really into tennis, so we had this great conversation and our friendship blossomed from there. I've sat in a hotel room with her for an hour and a half just yapping, it's been so cool".

Incidentally, Lewis and Anna have a rather creatively charged professional collaboration up ahead. The two are serving as co-chairs for the Met Gala 2025. Others eminent names on the panel are A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo and Pharrell Williams with Lebron James as the honorary chair.

Well here's to finding friends in every phase of your life!
