Ferrari Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton revealed ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix that he sold his entire car collection, but named one special car that he desires to have.
Being a car lover, the seven-time world champion had an impressive collection of cars, such as the Mercedes-AMG Project One, Mercedes-AMG G63 6×6, Ferrari LaFerrari, 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, the 1995 McLaren F1, and even a special edition Pagani Zonda 760 LH, to name a few.
Now, though, Hamilton has gotten rid of them after developing an interest in art. But there’s one car he still wishes to have. Speaking to the media in Baku, he said:
“I don’t have any cars anymore. I got rid of all my cars. I’m more into art nowadays.”

Hamilton stated that if he were to buy a car again, it would be the ultra-rare Ferrari F40. He added:
“If I was going to get a car, it’d be an F40.”
Despite getting rid of his cars, the Briton’s love for F1 stays strong. In a recent interview, Hamilton shut down rumors about his retirement and revealed that premier class racing is the top priority in his life above everything else. Newsweek Sports reported his comments:
“I have no intention of stopping anytime soon.
“I really appreciate that Fernando Alonso is continuing, because it means he’s older than me. I’ll keep going until he’s 50!”
Addressing the topic of having a family, Hamilton suggested that he did not want to have distractions in life that could shift his focus away from F1. He said:
“I have always been impressed by Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and other greats like Tom Brady who have families and continue to give their all.
“For me, it just didn’t happen. It’s not a priority. My priority has always been my love for Formula 1. The love of my life is Formula 1.
“I love this job almost more than anything else. My niece and my family will always be the priority, but… I don’t like doing things halfway; I wouldn’t give 100 per cent. I’m not saying that others don’t. I have to be stubborn, train, be super diligent, be involved. I have to give something up.
“I don’t want to be in a position where I have to choose: either racing goes badly so that my family can succeed, or my family suffers so that racing can succeed.
“For now, I don’t have to choose, and I’m happy to focus on one thing. And even if I sacrifice everything for it, it’s very difficult to succeed.
“Of course, I’ve imagined in my head how nice it would be if one of my children came to see Ferrari, was amazed by it, could get on board, and share this universe. Because racing has been the most important part of my life since I was a child.”
