Eyewear Styles of the World’s Greatest Racing Drivers

Some of the world’s top racing drivers are often seen sporting the world’s finest fashion in Monaco, Bahrain and London, even when in their all-in-one racing attire. We take a look into the eyewear fashion choices of the world’s greatest drivers.

Lewis Hamilton

When not in his McLaren all-in-one racing suit, former F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton is often seen in comfortable cotton hooded zip-up sweaters, casual jeans and a fierce pair of sunglasses.



These Hugo Boss aviators frame Lewis’ face shape really well, and the gradient tint on the lens is great for all light conditions. The aviator is a classic frame shape, which Lewis wears in this picture on a day off from racing and training.



These wrap visor sunglasses offer Lewis maximum shelter from the paparazzi on a day off from training. The total blackout sunglasses tint and thick glossy frame make these a striking fashion choice.
Lewis is often seen in a great pair of shades alongside fashionable girlfriend and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger.

Jensen Button

McLaren Formula 1 driver Jensen Button is a Ray Ban worshiper, as the pictures below suggest. Here he is wearing Ray Ban Aviator 3026 and Ray Ban Wayfarer 2140. Clearly a fan of all things Ray Ban, he wears these fun styles with laid-back attitude. Having won six of the first seven races of 2009, Button is an incredibly impressive driver and has a sense of style to match.



Valentino Rossi

Since 2011, Rossi has been an Oakley ambassador and actively promotes the brand by wearing their range, including the stunning Holbrook sunglasses style. The thick black rim and green Oakley logo make for a great pair of modern specs. Multiple MotoGP World Champion Rossi is never seen without a pair of Oakley sunglasses, so it’s easy to see why he’s an ambassador for the brand.



Michael Schumacher

We couldn’t write an article on the greatest racing drivers without mentioning 7-time World Champion Michael Schumacher. The driving sensation often wears his Oakley Radar XL Straight Blade sunglasses whilst signing autographs, appearing and public and for everyday wear. He is one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time, and his eyewear styles match his winning persona.
