It isn’t every day you get the chance to race a F1 star - when
it comes along, you have to grab the steering wheel with both hands.
Last week, Hackett and Williams hosted an event to celebrate
their partnership ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix. Driver Valtteri Bottas set a
lap time on a driving simulator and guests were invited to try and beat it.
It was a lovely opportunity to see Hackett’s latest
collection and some of the unique pieces created to celebrate the partnership.
The event itself was typically glam with delicious cocktails
and canapés. Guests included Susie Wolff, Claire Williams, former motorsport
team boss and racing car driver Freddie Hunt.
‘Motorsport has been a part of the Hackett DNA for many
years now and the prospect of working with one of the giants of F1 sends
shivers up and down my spine. The Martini racing stripe has always been
heralded as a marque of prestige and luxury and it seemed only natural for
Hackett to style the team for the new season. I also noticed that Hackett was
founded the same time Williams won its first World Championship...an omen, if
ever there was one!’ – Jeremy Hackett.
