Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari and Richard Mille: the racing star sported the million-dollar RM 74-02 Automatic Tourbillon in Shanghai for his first Sprint win with the Scuderia

The Formula One season has just begun, and Lewis Hamilton notched his first win for Ferrari in the Sprint Race at the Shanghai Grand Prix. On his wrist was a Richard Mille watch, one of several the seven-time world champion has been sporting from the brand in the past few weeks since joining the Scuderia, specifically the RM 74-02 Automatic Tourbillon with a stunning gold edged Carbon TPT case. His teammate, Charles Leclerc, wore the RM 67-02 “Italy”.

One of the perks of driving for Ferrari is access to these extraordinary, exclusive watches from luxury watchmaker Richard Mille, which has been sponsoring the Scuderia since 2021. The partnership yielded the incredible RM UP-01 in 2023, a concept watch, just 1.175mm thick. The ultra-complicated timepiece was an idea that was already on the drawing board before the signing of the partnership and is often seen on the wrist of music producer and Louis Vuitton designer Pharrell Williams.
