Ahead of this weekend's Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, Epic Games has announced the next character to join their icon series - Sir Lewis Hamilton. The icon series is a special rarity of cosmetics reserved for celebrities, artists, and influencers, and Hamilton, alongside his dog Roscoe, are the latest to join the roster.

Now, let's ask the real questions:

  • Will Bono find him some new tyres at Junk Junction already?
  • Will you be able to match Lewis' seven World Driver's Championship titles with your own seven Victory Royales?
  • Does Hamilton thank the engineers back at the Flush Factory?
  • What are his lap times around the desert race track above Paradise Palms?

Lewis Hamilton will be available in Fortnite on this Friday, November 17 at 7 PM Eastern. Pricing is not yet confirmed.

Below you can see the various items that will release alongside Hamilton:

  • A long, purple sword for your trusty Pickaxe.
  • A Glider in the shape of a surfboard, accompanied by Roscoe (assuming if you equip the back bling).
  • Roscoe, Lewis' dog featured as a Back Bling. Are you following Roscoe on Instagram?
  • Lewis in a wild outfit just like it's time to get to the track for the weekend.
  • Lewis in a panther-like suit.

Will you be picking up the Hamilton skin? Which Formula 1 driver do you think should join Fortnite's Icon Series next? And why is it Charles Leclerc dressed up as Peely?
