Why Are People Seemingly So Obsessed With Formula 1 Lately?

After an epic Formula 1 weekend under the lights of Marina Bay, it’s no shocker that the motorsport is a luxury prowess that everyone is obsessed with. It’s a sport dotted with glitz and glamour. All thanks to the Netflix documentary series, F1’s popularity has been surging higher and higher. No one seemed to give much thought to the champagne-soaked world of Formula 1 before the ultra-compelling show. Featuring behind-the-scenes footage of the usually-secretive racing teams and the sometimes contentious relationships between drivers and team executives, the show did a number on the sport. It worked like a trapdoor making indifferent people drive their way at 200 miles per hour into the fandom. But, that’s not the only thing that’s capturing the hearts of many fans.

The Fashion

The races have many swanky elements but the fashion that the drivers feed us with their street style is outstanding. Yes, the sexy jumpsuits are eye candy, but seeing the men dressed to the nines before they step into the car is worthy of a look. From Lewis Hamilton to Zhou Guanyu, the F1 drivers know how to strut their luxury watches, cool sneakers, and fresh, designer clothing. Unsurprisingly, the drivers are gaining a lot of recognition for their suave style.
