Who is Lewis Hamilton? And why is he in Fortnite?

Every one in a while Fortnite throws in an Icon Skin that shocks a lot of fans. While many celebrities in Fortnite are usually well known by everyone playing the game, there are a few that fall under some more particular niches. One of these figures in Fortnite is Lewis Hamilton.

So who is Lewis Hamilton? And why does he have his own Fortnite skin?

Lewis Hamilton is a popular British race car driver who competes in Formula One. Hamilton currently drives for Mercedes and is one of the most well-renowned drivers in the league.

So who would have ever expected to see him in Fortnite?

Well, the race car driver only just got his Icon Skin back in November of 2023, so being that Fortnite had just introduced Rocket Racing soon after, it seems like Lewis Hamilton's addition to the game was perfect timing.

But how does a player get his skin in Fortnite?

Who knows when he will join the game again.
