Sir Lewis Hamiton has one of the world’s most enviable car collections. The seven-time world champion reportedly owns a Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, Shelby Cobra 427 and has a Mercedes-AMG One on order.
But, by far, the most famous car in his garage is his purple Pagani Zonda 760LH, this custom-built Italian hypercar is powered by a 7.3-litre Mercedes V12 and features a manual transmission. And it was in this car the F1 star was spotted in Monaco last week, reportedly heading home after having dinner with movie star Samuel L Jackson; as you do when you’re a super-famous celebrity like Hamilton.
This video posted by ‘ExoticCarSpotters’ on YouTube shows Hamilton climbing aboard his anything-but-subtle Pagani and heading around the streets of Monaco. The sound of the engine through the principalities tunnels is every bit as good as you’d expect from an AMG-built V12.
The awkward thing about this situation is Hamilton told Reuters last year he no longer drove his petrol-powered cars, in a bid to reduce his carbon footprint.
"Beberapa di antaranya adalah edukasi karena tidak semua orang mengetahui jejak yang dimiliki olahraga kami saat ini dan apa yang kami lakukan untuk mencoba memperbaikinya. Namun saya membuat banyak perubahan dalam kehidupan pribadi saya," Hamilton menjelaskan tentang keputusannya untuk berinvestasi dalam gaya hidup yang lebih bersih.
"Saya tidak lagi mengendarai mobil-mobil yang saya miliki. Saya hanya mengendarai [Mercedes] EQC [SUV listrik] saya."
While it may seem like Hamilton has changed his mind, given the tight confines of Monaco he probably didn’t drive it very far. Plus, who can blame him for driving a car as stunning as the Pagani.
