Hamilton teases fans ahead of British GP telling them to 'WATCH OUT'

Lewis Hamilton has teased a new partnership on social media ahead of his home race at the British GP.

The Mercedes star will be looking for a victory at Silverstone this weekend, after the recent upturn in performance of the W15.

Hamilton has won at Silverstone a whopping eight times, the joint most at a single circuit, and Mercedes have made a timely return to the front to increase his chances of earning that record outright.

Team-mate George Russell took victory in Austria last time out after Max Verstappen and Lando Norris finally learned - after teasing a coming together for laps - that driving into each other can have race-destroying consequences.

Perhaps the pair should have heeded Hamilton's latest 'watch out' advice to avoid a collision; each near miss felt like it accelerated the countdown on a bomb's timer before the lap 64 explosion.

The incident in Austria gave Hamilton a two place boost, and fourth marked his third top four finish in a row.

Now, is it time for the seven-time champion to end his long drought without a race victory, a barren spell which stretches back to the penultimate race of 2021?

He and Mercedes have formed a prolific partnership, unmatched in terms of title-winning returns. However, Hamilton is looking to go out with at least one more win before joining Ferrari in 2025.

One partnership Hamilton is maintaining, for now, is with IWC Schaffhausen, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer.

The 39-year-old has once more teamed up with the company, as he teased in his latest Instagram post.

"Something coming, watch out #Ad #PerformanceChronograph #TheReference," Hamilton wrote on the social media site.

The British ace has previously designed collections with IWC, and can often be seen wearing their timepieces around the paddock.

The collection referenced in his latest post appears to be the IWC Chronograph, described as 'the reference' for the type of watch which is used as a stopwatch combined with a display watch.

The 'Performance Chronograph' likely refers to IWC's Pilot's Watch Performance Chronograph 41 AMG, referencing Mercedes and motorsport, which will set you back a cool £8,650.

Based off of Lewis Hamilton's reported £43,000,000 base salary at Mercedes, it would take him under two hours to earn that, without the pay from endorsements and advertisements such as this one for IWC!
