Posters and Lewis’s outfits? (lemmy.world)

I really miss seeing the team posters for each GP and what outfit Lewis Hamilton is wearing when he arrives at the paddock each race weekend. It doesn’t feel like the race weekend without them. I’ve tried to find them myself with mixed success. Can someone post them or point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I'll be honest, F1's fashion Thursday posts were not my favorite thing on F1 Reddit. I'd prefer a new /c/f1fashion community than to start seeing posts of everyone's outfits here. But in the spirit of growing the sub, even if not in my favorite direction... I suspect you'll need to gather images from many sources including:

Subscribe to a bunch of driver Instagrams. Lewis's insta has his outfit for today.
Subscribe to a bunch of F1 photog Instagrams and twitters.
Get RSS feeds or just manually check F1 photog websites. Like https://www.kymillman.com/photography/formula-1/ has an "images from the track" section that seems to be updated near realtime. The day-1 British GP link has images from today, including a view of Lewis's outfit (though Kym's happens to be a worse angle than Lewis's today... you're going to have to check multiple sources to see who got the good shot in any given day).

Good luck, and be ready to follow a decent number of non-federated socials to find good images each week.

Lewis' outfit photos always marked the start of the F1 weekend for me. I'd be happy enough to see them back, though I do appreciate your point of view, it's got very little to do with racing.

Yeah, I'm not trying to agitate for a rule or anything. I'd love if the world agreed with me that a dedicated F1 fashion community was the thing, but posters gonna post, as well they should. I'll manage either way.

I am amongst the ones that didn't like the outfit photos at all - so I was a little sad as one of them is currently a hot post, but as with reddit, I don't need to click it :) To each his own!

OK, there have been a few comments similar to this. I'm not going to change anything now, but I'm making a list of things to put to the community during the mid season break.

If they want it, it stays. If they don't, it goes.

It's how we have our current rules and I think mid season break is a good time to review how this community is going and what improvements we can make.

Thanks for the tips. Not sure I’ll be posting many, but at least I have some leads of where to check for myself.
