It all began with a Mini Cooper back when Hamilton was growing up in Stevenage, a small but pokey icon of the motoring world, which would only end up being outgunned by far more powerful machines.

Carhp have ranked the Brit’s most expensive motors as of 2023, with a list of 13 supercars totalling £24million in list price.

Way out ahead in his collection is a car that even rivals F1 speeds in some categories, but was also part of an unfortunate accident.

A self-branded Pagani Zonda 760LH in Hamilton’s trademark purple reportedly sold for $9.5m [£7.5m] in 2021, despite him crashing it eight years earlier.

Pagani are known as one of the original ‘hypercar’ brands with extraordinary looks, breakneck speed, screeching engines and 0-60 times regularly below three seconds.

That means it’s slightly more forgivable that Hamilton managed to lose control of his personalised model in Monaco in 2015 and crash into some parked cars, which would have left him worried about its £1.7m value.

However, with the brand so rare and only increasing in legendary status over the years, he managed to sell it for more than five times what he paid in 2021.

That doesn’t mean his supercar purchases stopped there, though, with cash heading in the direction of rival F1 teams after picking up an incredible Mercedes AMG One.

Hamilton owns two Ferrari LaFerraris, having previously admitted he always wanted to drive for the Italian team, while on top of that he has the hybrid competitor of his former team McLaren, with a P1 in his collection.

Despite the enviable list of supercars, it’s far from just about speed for Hamilton, who clearly loves American muscle.

Owning a number of Shelby Cobras over the years as well as a Ford Mustang, Hamilton also purchased the ultimate Chelsea tractor, a Mercedes-AMG G63 6X6.

Gazumping all of that, though, is his Bombardier Challenger 605, which, if you hadn’t guessed by the name, is a plane rather than a car.

Hamilton’s cherry red private jet was a regular fixture at race weekends, costing him an eye-watering $23million [£19m] in 2013.

Despite it possibly being the most exclusive item in world sport for many years, rival millionaires can now charter the jet, with Hamilton selling it at a massive loss in 2019.

Wanting to reduce his carbon footprint, Hamilton has been far more associated with his pitlane scooter.
