Suitable for casual wear, as well as those more formal occasions, there are three different designs to choose from. The cap is flourished with LN4 branding on the side in neon blue, and a white McLaren speedmark on the front. That too was in a championship winning McLaren. Though Ferrari would rise again in the early years of the century, there was no sense when Coulthard took the chequered flag ahead of Irvine that McLaren would ever be anything other than contenders. The lean years that followed Hamilton’s maiden title in 2008 would bottom out in 2015 and 2017 when the team twice finished ninth.

A mainstay of any British wardrobe (how could it not be, given our weather?), Castore and McLaren have produced a huge range of different, and striking, hoodie designs. Hamilton was suddenly a contender again, misgivings about an underpowered car blown away by the visceral nature of the engagement. His instincts as switched on as his tyres, Hamilton swarmed all over the McLaren. Through Brooklands and Luffield they diced, Hamilton close enough to blow Norris a kiss, Norris chaste enough to deny him. The British driver is returning to Silverstone as one of the UK’s leading lights in motorsport, and was set the task by McLaren of coming up with a new-look range of fashionable clothing for men, women and children to celebrate the best of British. Now that you’ve decided on what to wear while out and about, it’s time to accessorise with one of Lando’s new cap designs.

But, get up close and personal, and the wilder side is very evident – the underside of the peak is fashioned with a bold and beautiful neon design that just screams Lando’s fun-loving, jokey side. McLaren, in collaboration with Castore have put together a whole new range of clothing celebrating Lando Norris’ home race at Silverstone – get kitted out with the Lando look! While a British summer is always a mixed bag, there are always those hot and sun-filled days that mean it’s time to ditch the hoodie and show up in your favourite T-shirt. The battle endured for five more laps before Norris eventually broke Hamilton’s DRS grip, the Mercedes tyres cooked by the unforgiving physics of chasing. In the end it was all Hamilton could do to bring his car home in third ahead of the second McLaren of Oscar Piastri. Having started seventh, Hamilton would have signed for that, ensuring a first podium for two British drivers at Silverstone since David Coulthard led Eddie Irvine home in 1999.
