F1 legend Lewis Hamilton boasts a stunning car collection befitting of the racing driver legend he is.

Since his 2007 debut, the seven-time world champion has earned a staggering fortune from motorsport.

He has been paid an astonishing £350million by Mercedes, who he signed for in 2013.

But, it could be the end of an era. The 39-year-old is reportedly poised to complete a sensational switch to Ferrari and team up with Charles Leclerc ahead of the 2025 season.

Hamilton’s epic wealth has allowed to enjoy a lifestyle to envy.

And cars are most certainly his passion – with a garage of supercars worth around £13MILLION.

Hamilton is a self-confessed car fanatic, who collects everything from the latest supercars to vintage classics and even electric vehicles.

He said previously: “I don’t know anything about wine. I don’t know a huge amount about art.

“But what I do know is cars, and I’m very particular about them.”

Here we take a look at just some of his extravagant collection:

PAGANI ZONDA 760 LH

The rarest motor in Hamilton owned was his £1.6m Pagani Zonda that was made entirely for him.

The exterior and interiors are purple, and at the request of the sports star he opted for a manual gearbox instead of the usual sequential one.

His reasons? Because he hated getting behind the wheel of it initially.

He once said: “The Zonda is terrible to drive!

“It’s the best-sounding car I own, but handling-wise it’s the worst.”

That could be why in 2015 Hamilton got in an accident that caused some significant damage to the cherished motor.

Hamilton reportedly sold the motor in 2022.

1966 SHELBY 427 COBRA

The highest valued car in Hamilton’s collection is this stunning classic.

Believed to be worth around £4m, it’s a rare sight – unless you’ve seen the racer cruising along the Pacific Coast Highway in LA.

Hamilton was often spied taking his ex-missus Nicole Scherzinger for a spin in this beauty, which had him standing out from the crowd.

LAFERRARI

Every car aficionado worth their weight in salt owns this £2m Ferrari – another collector’s item that rises in value as the years go by.

Capable of reaching a top speed of 217 mph, the LaFerrari can hit 0-62 mph in just 2.4 seconds, meaning it’s the fastest car Hamilton owns.

Footballers including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Son Heung-min also drive this frighteningly fast motor that must feel like handling a racing car.

MERCEDES-AMG PROJECT ONE

Lewis got his hands on a Project One in 2021, even though it wasn’t released until 2022.

He was heavily involved in the production of the plug-in hybrid sports car that’s capable of hitting a top speed of 217 mph.

Only 275 were made, and they cost around £2m.

Getting his hands on one was one of the many perks of his deal with Mercedes.

MERCEDES-AMG SLS BLACK

He already owned a SL Black Series, so why not add the SLS, right?

Hamilton, who clearly has a need for speed, added this supercar to his garage probably because it’s the fastest Mercedes in production.

Powered by a 6.2-litre V8 engine that produces 622bhp – the SLS can reach a top speed of 196 mph.

It also hits 0-60 in just 3 seconds – making it the ideal car for Hamilton to get his thrills off the track with. For a price tag of £230k, it’s just what you’d expect really.

MCLAREN P1

Despite splitting with McLaren’s racing team, Hamilton can’t have felt too aggrieved with his former employers. In 2015, he added a £2m P1 to his extensive list of rides.

The P1 has a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine, which is twinned with an electric motor that means the supercar has a total power and torque output of 903 bhp and 980 Nm of torque.

In real talk that means it’s fast and powerful, can hit a top speed of 217 mph and hits 0-60 mph in just under 2.7 seconds.

1967 FORD MUSTANG SHELBY GT500

The second classic car that’s part of his fleet, fans of the Hollywood movie Gone In 60 Seconds might recognise this motor as looking to similar to one of the Eleanor models from the film.

Hamilton had his customised by Oklahoma-based car shoop Classic Recreations for additional cost.

At auctions, they can fetch up to £750k, and you can bet Hamilton’s is in tip-top condition. That said, we doubt he’ll ever sell it.

BEST OF THE REST

When the Mercedes-Maybach 6 came out in 2016, Hamilton made sure he got his hands on the concept car.

The 2×2 coupe is completely electric, and can run up to 200 miles before it’ll need recharging.

Hamilton also has another Mercedes – the Maybach S600, which is a luxurious chauffeur’s car with a partition separating the front seats from the back.

Both those motors have a combined worth of around £800k.

And Hamilton doesn’t mind swapping four wheels for two – sometimes taking his £6,500 Honda CRF450RX Motocross Bike around the dirt tracks of California.

Then there’s also his Maverick X3 dune buggy that would’ve set him back around £20k, that’s also electric in theme with his eco-warrior status.

However, with a switch to Ferrari imminent – imagine the company cars he’s got lined up?
