Tommy Hilfiger announces the launch of a new campaign – #WhatsYourDrive – together with the global brand ambassador Lewis Hamilton. The mini-series sheds light on the personal ambitions of the F1 pilot, ambitions that make him exceed his expectations, break down barriers and improve his performance to inspire others.

#WhatsYourDrive unveils the man behind the image of the legendary British race driver, Lewis Hamilton, global brand ambassador and, implicitly, the representative of men’s collection. The episodes will be launched concurrently with each race in the 2018 Formula 1 World Championship, focusing on one aspect of Lewis Hamilton’s professional and personal life.

Starting with the passion for music, fashion, and the values that guide Lewis every day, to his efforts to encourage younger generations to follow their dreams, the #WhatsYourDrive series talks about the incredible desire to succeed in all aspects of life, inspiring along the way the next generation of TOMMY HILFIGER fans .

“It’s a story about personal development, exploration and self-expression beyond the racing track, which I enjoy sharing with fans around the world,” said Lewis Hamilton. “It’s about setting goals and embracing any opportunity that arises, without letting anyone stand in your way.”

“Lewis has this amazing ambition to grow and reach new goals both on the track and beyond, giving inspiration to fans all over the world,” said Tommy Hilfiger. “This mini-personal series comes with a new and intimate perspective on his journey of reaching full potential in Formula One racing, revealing sides that few people know.”

So, what happens next?

Lewis Hamilton will share each episode, including the trailer released on May 1, 2018, on his social media channels, including Instagram, Facebook and Youtube, where he is being followed by over 18 million fans. The mini documentary series will also be available on Tommy Hilfiger’s dedicated web page , a one-stop dynamic platform celebrating Lewis Hamilton’s position as a brand ambassador and the strategic partnership between Tommy Hilfiger and the four-time Formula One World Champion, Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport, gathering the latest campaign images and clips along with outfits from the collection.
