His garage was worth millions, but Lewis Hamilton sold all his four-wheeled vehicles and now prefers to collect valuable art and only drives on two wheels.
Lewis Hamilton has confirmed that he has sold his entire car collection. The 40-year-old now prefers to collect art instead of fast cars. However, he admitted that he still has a passion for one Italian supercar.
The seven-time Formula 1 world champion was asked if he was interested in buying a Ferrari F80, the new flagship model from Maranello. His answer will surely surprise many fans: “I don’t have any cars anymore. I don’t have any cars, I sold everything. These days I’m more interested in art. If I were to buy a car, it would be the F40. But it’s a work of art anyway.”
Hamilton's garage has been a hot topic for years, filled with rare and expensive high-performance vehicles. From supercars to classic cars and special editions, the former Mercedes driver has owned it all. But according to his latest statements, his passion for collecting cars has apparently waned.
Before he disbanded his collection, it was known that he had vehicles in private garages in Monaco and Los Angeles, the total value of which is estimated at around 15 million euros.
Hamilton's car collection:
Pagani Zonda 760 LH
Mercedes AMG One
Mercedes-AMG SLS Black Series
Mercedes-AMG GT R (Spec Safety Car)
Mercedes AMG G 63 6×6
Mercedes-Maybach S600
Ferrari LaFerrari
Ferrari LaFerrari Open
Ferrari 599 SA Aperta
1966 Shelby Cobra 427
1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 ('Eleanor Replica')
McLaren P1
1995 McLaren F1 (chassis 044)
Mini Cooper
Mercedes EQC
Hamilton's Pagani Zonda alone is said to be worth millions. The car has been involved in two accidents. In 2015, it suffered damage in a parking lot in Monaco (albeit very expensive), which Hamilton himself caused. In 2023, the new owner crashed it into a tunnel wall, causing much more damage to the bodywork.
Although Hamilton is best known for his performances on four wheels, in his private life he prefers to ride a motorbike. He was recently spotted at the Monaco Grand Prix and the Italian Grand Prix on a Ducati Panigale V4 S in the colours of the Italian tricolour. He also regularly rides his MV Agusta F4 LH44, a strictly limited special model created in collaboration with the Italian manufacturer.
But if Hamilton is to be believed, he will still find room in his garage for the Ferrari F40, one of his new employer's most famous and coveted sports cars. "One thing I really want to do is design a Ferrari myself," he revealed at the start of the season. "I want to develop an F44. Based on the F40, with a real manual gearbox. I'll be working on that for the next few years."
