Lewis Hamilton has just announced that he has secured a rare Ferrari F40, a long‑awaited addition to a collection he had dismantled in 2025.
The Restoration Journey
Accompanied by striking photographs of the supercar with its engine removed, Hamilton explained that the vehicle had lain dusty for more than three decades before being sent to Maranello. There, factory engineers and mechanics worked over a period of weeks to return the F40 to river‑run condition. “This has truly been a dream come true,” he added, expressing gratitude to the team behind the restoration.
Hamilton’s Car Collection Declared Gone
In an earlier reveal ahead of the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the champion confirmed that he had sold his entire car archive, including a Pagani Zonda 760 LH, a Mercedes‑AMG Project One, a Ferrari LaFerrari and a 1966 Shelby Cobra 427. He said, “I don’t have any cars anymore; I’m more into art now.” The F40, however, remains the sole paint‑and‑body legacy he intends to keep.
Behind‑the‑Scenes Looks on YouTube
Hamilton hinted that a closer examination of the F40’s restoration is planned for his YouTube channel. The initial Instagram post—shared on Monday, 31 August—has already amassed over 278,000 likes, underscoring the public’s appetite for details of the iconic revamp.
