Lewis Hamilton Drives Ferrari F40 to Tokyo Car Meet Before Japanese GP

The cameo underscores his tie to Ferrari’s F40 despite his move away from personal car ownership.

Overview

  • Hamilton pulled into Yokohama’s Daikoku Parking Area in a Ferrari F40 ahead of the Suzuka race weekend, drawing a dense crowd of fans and phones.
  • Reports pegged the supercar’s value around £4 million, though ownership of the specific F40 he drove was not confirmed.
  • The appearance contrasts with Hamilton’s recent stance that he sold his car collection and now focuses on art, even as he has long called the F40 his dream car.
  • The Ferrari driver continues preparations for practice at Suzuka after opening his 2026 season with fourth in Australia and a podium in China.
  • Outlets differed on provenance, with Drive noting the owner is unclear and GPFans saying Hamilton does not own the car, as social posts from the Daikoku meet spread widely from the famed enthusiast hub.
