Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula 1 champion and one of the richest athletes in the world, recently shocked fans by revealing that he has sold off his entire car collection. The collection, estimated to be worth a whopping £13 million, was filled with rare and valuable cars, including Mercedeses, Ferraris, McLarens, and even a Mini Cooper.
Among the cars in his collection was a Pagani Zonda 760 LH, a one-of-a-kind hypercar that was specially built for Hamilton and cost him £1.6 million. He had actually sold this car for a significant profit back in 2021, but he has now confirmed that he has sold off his entire collection.
During the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where he was hoping for a podium finish for Ferrari, Hamilton surprised reporters by stating that he no longer has any cars. When asked if he was interested in purchasing the latest Ferrari supercar, the F80, he responded, "I don't have any cars anymore. I'm more into art nowadays."
It seems that Hamilton's new passion lies in the world of art, as he has collaborated with various artists to design limited-edition merchandise. He even mentioned that he would consider buying one car - the iconic Ferrari F40 - but not to drive, as he sees it as a piece of art.
At the start of the year, when Hamilton was officially unveiled as a Ferrari driver, he posed next to the F40 outside of Enzo Ferrari's house in Maranello, Italy. He stated that he wants to design a Ferrari himself, specifically an F44 named after his racing number. This car would be based on the F40, with a stick shift, and it is something he plans to work on for the next few years.
Interestingly, Hamilton has previously admitted that he was not driving much of his car collection, aside from his electric Mercedes EQC, in an effort to reduce his carbon footprint. He also mentioned that while he loves racing at high speeds on the track, he finds driving on normal roads stressful and tries to avoid it.
It's clear that Hamilton's interests have shifted towards art, and he is now focusing on creating a one-of-a-kind Ferrari rather than collecting cars. Fans can only imagine what this talented and successful athlete will achieve in the art world in the coming years.
