More Than Just Lewis Hamilton
While Lewis Hamilton previously joined Fortnite through the Icon Series, this marks the first time the entire championship is represented in the game rather than a single driver. This expansion allows fans to wear racing suits featuring real sponsors and team colors, creating an authentic F1 experience in the virtual world.
The trailer revealed five default skins with options to customize colors and sponsors to match your favorite team, making the collection flexible for fans who support multiple teams or want variety in their cosmetic loadouts.

Emily Prazer, Formula 1’s Chief Commercial Officer, called it an innovative way to connect with fans in unexpected places, allowing players to interact with F1 year-round. With over 650 million registered Fortnite players, this partnership exposes motorsport to gaming’s largest audience.
