Lewis Hamilton Cars: A dream personal Car Collection indeed

Get in there, Lewis!!
Get in there, Lewis!!

Consider the following for a second. You wake up early morning and the first thing you see on the television is the picture of the 2018 world champion with a rather familiar sounding punchline- "It's Hammertime, baby!"

But, Lewis Hamilton (whose) net-worth is a whopping $285 million, is seen all relaxed; shoulders stretched, head down, as if kneeling below to the ground.

The following thought comes to your mind, a bit like Nico Rosberg in the aftermath of the Spanish Grand Prix of 2016.

Why is Lewis, posing next to the 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (as seen above), looking sad?

And right then, when you think there's nothing more to it, you remember the sight of Sebastian Vettel, who says, "Get in there Lewis....", only for a Ferrari to come out of the commentary box to say, try me sometime!

With this figment of the imagination, let us delve deep into the world of Lewis Hamilton, who is, well, one of the richest drivers in F1 currently.

So what excites the guy responsible for bagging not one but five world titles? Let's find out then.


Ferrari F99 GTO

El Champion in the red?
El Champion in the red?

A world-champion on the track and a role-model figure off it,

Here's a big shout out to the world of the Scuderia, for the very simple reason that Lewis drives a machine to which Michael Schumacher's legacy belongs. Who wouldn't like such a fantastic pairing, after all?

But while nothing could be more fascinating than seeing Lewis Hamilton race others in all-red, perhaps what's more interesting is that the Mercedes driver zips in a rival brand off the grid.

In this interesting alliance that may surely be fun, the choice of colour - not the bloodshot red- may certainly fire Lewis to throw in some punches. Is that right, Mr Mayweather? You guessed that right. Floyd Mayweather and Lewis have a passion for the same car.

Mercedes Maybach-S600

A magnificent purchase, right?
A magnificent purchase, right?

Lewis Hamilton also happens to own a car that according to many has the perfect melange of style and luxury. What do you think about the Mercedes-Maybach?

The Mercedes-Maybach S600 may not immediately seem like that car that would appeal to a circle of Lewis fans who tend to think that bling, bright colours, and robustness define much of the man.

But, here's a harmless query to those. Can staid elegance finally be accepted as a personal sense of style? If not, then should the world send the fashion police behind Sir Jackie Stewart?

To that end, who would have the time to break out of the bias and appreciate the fact that with the changing passage of time, Lewis would evolve and accept upgrades?

What's rather interesting is that Lewis had decided to sell out his Mercedes-Maybach, a luxury car that had only been driven for 27,500 miles.

Maverick X3

Only Maverick's, please
Only Maverick's, please

For some reason, it appears that there's never really a dull day in the life of Lewis Hamilton. It could be said when winning races on a circuit after another becomes the usual mode of operation, the five-time world champion, who has been in Formula 1 for well over a decade shifts his attention from F1 layouts to normal roads.

From popping into parties with friends to chilling out around the world and designing clothes as and when he wants to leave quite an impression, at the end of the day, this is not a man that is unbeatable; but surely has a sense of style that makes him beat the rest off the grid.

ln an age where everyone seems desperate to leave an impression, Lewis Hamilton is leaving blood-stains on the likes of the Scuderia whilst chilling out in mean machines such as this one.

Lewis Hamilton not only happens to own a Maverick X3 but also happens to be the brand ambassador himself.

But that said, the man who the first world a world championship, in 2008, it seems, isn't just another successful, affluent sports-icon who's in a melting pot of success, wealth, and fame.

Mercedes-AMG GT R

A car you simply can't take your eyes off from
A car you simply can't take your eyes off from

Does this one interest you for the ostentatiousness of its colour? For a man who's driven a Ferrari and for quite a while, how interesting, it must be asked, is the Mercedes AMG-GT R for a ride?

For this one, in particular, it could be said, while there may be an instant reaction (if not revulsion) from the point of view of Lewis Hamilton's biggest fans or backers, it may not really be an ideal way to comment about a car that represents the very brand the man has helped shape in the modern-day history of the sport.

While critics are always welcome and there are hundreds of thousands at Monza that may have been incensed seeing the silver rule where the red was thought to have belonged, where's the sense in accepting the fact that it's dominance and not defeat?

This, it mustn't be forgotten, is very nearly an era of Formula 1 where Mercedes is winning and others, including their biggest rivals- Ferrari- only happen to exist, unless Sebastian and Leclerc or either among them decided to take race-control in their hands.
