Lewis Hamilton Enters Fortnite 

The Fortnite Icon Series, renowned for featuring luminaries from sports, entertainment, and music, has previously welcomed stars like Ariana Grande and Neymar Jr. into its illustrious fold. Now, breaking new ground, Lewis Hamilton becomes the first Formula One athlete to grace this exclusive digital celebrity collection. 

Hamilton's remarkable track record in Formula One has undoubtedly earned him a spot among the gaming elite. The timing couldn't be more perfect, as his Fortnite collection debuts during the ongoing Formula One series in Las Vegas from Nov. 16 to 19. However, a note of contention arises among fans who wonder why Max Verstappen, another F1 sensation, hasn't yet found a place in the Fortnite spotlight. 

Diving into the virtual wardrobe, Hamilton's Icon Series collection unveils not one, but two distinct skins. The first pays homage to his real-world persona with a celebrity skin sporting a vibrant, multicolored shirt. The second takes a superhero-inspired twist, resembling a classic Formula One driver kit in a striking yellow and black ensemble, drawing comparisons to Black Panther's iconic suit. 

Beyond the skins, the collection boasts an array of Fortnite flair, including a hoverboard, a melee weapon skin, and a particularly delightful addition—Hamilton's beloved bulldog, Roscoe.

 Fortnite aficionados are well-acquainted with the game's penchant for crossover collaborations, spanning Marvel, My Hero Academia, Star Wars, and the NFL. Hamilton's Icons collection is anticipated to captivate fans, offering a chance to spend in-game currency on exclusive cosmetics. 

Mark your calendars for Nov. 17, when the Hamilton bundle hits the Fortnite store. But beware, as items from the coveted Icon Series are only available for a limited time. Get ready to race into the digital fray with the latest and greatest from the world of Fortnite and Formula One.
