Lewis Hamilton's celeb bromances: From hanging out with Justin Bieber in LA to swapping fashion tips with Kanye West and teaching Will Smith how to drive

LEWIS HAMILTON is at the top of the tree in the sports' world, so it's only natural A-list celebrities would levitate towards him.

The Formula One world champion, gunning for a record sixth Silverstone win this weekend, has amassed a group of male mates from the world of sport, music and even Hollywood.

Whether it's sharing tips on fashion to teaching celebs how to drive, Hamilton, 34, has got it all covered.

And he even has his own wingman too… here's his greatest bromances.

KANYE WEST

When you're friends with hip-hop star Yeezy, he'll only tell you straight.

Hamilton and West's paths continually cross, especially when the Mercedes driver is hanging out in LA with the rapper's sister-in-law, Kendal Jenner – who is one of his closest mates.

And there was one particular time when the Gold Digger hitmaker took Hamilton to one side and told him to ignore all the haters after the five-time champion was pictured recording music in the studio.

"I went to see Kanye at his house and he goes, ‘You know, me and you are very much the same’, Hamilton said in an interview with City A.M.

“He said, ‘I’m big in the music world but I’m trying to do what I love in fashion and people don’t like it.

"You’re big in your racing world but you love your music and people will probably struggle to accept that. You need to do what you love and not give a f*** about what anyone thinks’".

Now if that's not sound bro advice, we don't know what is.


DAVID BECKHAM

Considering both Becks and Hamilton are British sporting royalty, you'd think they'd be rivals competing for endorsements.

However, the pair are good mates – and were even spotted watching the Super Bowl in 2014 together.

If that's not enough, they've always been gracing the red carpets of events such as the Vanity Fair Oscar party and more in unison.

Beckham even showed his support for his buddy at the Bahrain Grand Prix back in March, cheering his pal on to victory in the Middle East.

The former Manchester United star also got emotional for Hamilton in 2017 – when he won his fourth World Championship.

Becks shared an image of Hamilton lifting a Union Jack on Instagram and captioned it: "A true champion from a young age he knew what he wanted and knew how to get it… Hard work and dedication … Congratulations mate on yet another championship"

With Hamilton being a die-hard Arsenal fan, we wonder if Becks teases him about the times he got one over the Gunners?

NEYMAR JR

The PSG forward, and most expensive player ever, has a bond with Hamilton that knows no ends.

In fact, Neymar Jr shared a snap of the pair together in Doha, the night before the Qatar Grand Prix, enjoying a night out.

"My bro from another mother," Neymar Jr wrote on Instagram as he celebrated their friendship.

A day later, and Neymar Jr was in the pit hugging his mate.

However, just because they're close, it doesn't mean that they do everything together… especially when it comes to skydiving.

On his Instagram stories, Hamilton once said: "Tried to get my bro Neymar to come skydive with me this morning.

We wonder if they ever got round to it?



JARED LETO

Who else could the most eligible bachelor in sport lean on when it comes to needing a wingman?

After all, Hollywood heartthrob Leto is a single man who attends all the same parties as Hamilton, and the pair share a love for attractive ladies.

Leto and Hamilton also seem to have an eye for fashion, often spotted at all the major fashion weeks around the world together.

After a Balmain fashion show in 2017, the pair were spotted at dinner with Kris Kardashian – the matriarch of the reality TV family.

And they even have similar taste in clothing – sporting streetwear so bright it wouldn't have been misplaced if it appeared on Liberace.

WILL SMITH

When you're mates with an actor renowned for his comic timing, you know you'll be in for laughs.

Smith and Hamilton have become the ultimate Laurel and Hardy act, often sharing their clownery on social media.

The two are thick of thieves, and once before a race in Abu Dhabi Smith shot a video pretending to kidnap his mate.

Hamilton was left tied up in his dressing room, while The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor put on his racing attire and threatened to replace the Grand Prix whizz in the hilarious clip.

A year later, Smith's son Trey, himself a boy racer, challenged his dad to a race.

As part of his Bucket List series, Smith couldn't decline. Knowing he needed some expert help, he enlisted the services of his pal who taught him how to drive in another brilliant video.



JUSTIN BIEBER

The biggest pop star on the planet is perhaps Hamilton's best mate.

Hamilton loves taking Biebs out for a spin, often driving him around the streets of LA in his £1m LaFerrari.

The two bros took in an NBA game in 2016 – watching the Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.

Bieber also loves celebrating with Hamilton at the after parties of a Grand Prix, especially in Monaco where they've been seen several times.

But now Bieber is a married man, after getting hitched to Hailey Baldwin last year, their bromance has cooled slightly.

And even though the two dated the same girl – Sofia Richie – just a few years ago, they didn't fall out over it. In fact, it just seemed to make their love for each other stronger.
