Lewis Hamilton created a landmark moment for automotive culture at the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, pulling into Monza behind the wheel of every car collector's ultimate dream: an ultra-rare Ferrari F40. Having previously sold off the majority of his private vehicle collection, the seven-time Formula 1 world champion acquired the pristine European-market supercar after finding an example that sat untouched for over three decades with its passenger door never opened.

Preserving its original thin factory red paint—where the underlying carbon fiber and Kevlar weave remains visible—Hamilton sent the vehicle to Ferrari’s Maranello Classiche department for a mechanical restoration. During the teardown, factory mechanics uncovered a fateful detail: the engine block was stamped with number 44, matching Hamilton’s signature Formula 1 racing number.

Delivering a scene reminiscent of classic Italian cinema, Hamilton stepped out of the non-air-conditioned supercar wearing a custom black suit, tie, beret, leather briefcase, and long camel coat despite 90-degree temperatures at the circuit. The orchestrated entrance represents an unprecedented crossover between Formula 1 heritage, high-end car collecting, and personal style.

Hamilton's F40 arrival at Scuderia Ferrari's home race sets a new benchmark for car culture, celebrating both Enzo Ferrari’s final approved road car and a legendary moment in motorsport history. Take a look at the reveal that Hamilton posted on Instagram in a recreation of the iconic Akira poster with his newly restored Ferrari F40.
