Speaking ahead of last year's Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Lewis admitted he no longer owned any personal road cars, pivoting his interest toward art-though he made one explicit exception."If I was going to get a car, it would be the F40. But that's a nice piece of art," Hamilton said at the time. Now he has one.lewis hamilton is restoring a ferrari f40 after selling his other carsTaking to social media, Hamilton shared images of the twin-turbo V8 supercar undergoing an total engine-out teardown and mechanical restoration at the Ferrari works in Maranello.AdvertisementAdvertisement"My very own F40. This is the car of my dreams and has been for as long as I can remember," Hamilton wrote. "As a kid I dreamt of having one. When I joined Ferrari last year I made sure to have one with me on my first day at Maranello. That's how much it means to me."Hamilton said he tracked down the rare supercar and found it sitting unused and dusty in a garage."These cars are works of art and incredibly rare, so when I found this one, covered in dust after being sat in a garage for over thirty years, I knew I had to bring her home," he explained. "First to Maranello, where the master engineers and mechanics at the factory worked for weeks to bring her back to life.
