Lewis Hamilton arrived at Monza ahead of the Italian Grand Prix in a restored Ferrari F40, a move that dominated media day coverage. The seven-time Formula 1 champion drove the custom-plated #44 supercar, wearing an all-black suit layered under a tan coat and a flat cap-style hat. The car, which Hamilton had previously showcased on social media, became the focal point of paddock conversations.
The rare appearance of the 1980s sports car in a modern F1 setting underscored Hamilton’s long-standing admiration for Ferrari’s heritage. The F40, one of Ferrari’s most iconic models, stands out for its raw performance and nostalgic appeal, making its presence at a high-profile event like the Italian GP particularly notable.
Hamilton’s choice of vehicle for the occasion highlights his personal connection to classic Ferraris, though it remains unclear whether the stunt signals broader ambitions or simply celebrates the brand’s legacy.
