Lewis Hamilton restores rare 1991 Ferrari F40
Lewis Hamilton has documented the complete restoration of a rare 1991 Ferrari F40 through an eight-minute video released on his social media channels. The vehicle is notable for its unique history; it had been stored in a garage for over thirty years after being driven for only 69 kilometers by its original owner in 1991.
Following a detailed restoration process in Maranello, which Hamilton closely supervised, the supercar was returned to pristine condition. A personalized detail was added to the project, with the V8 engine featuring the number 44, Hamilton's signature Formula 1 racing number.
The project culminated during the Italian Grand Prix weekend, where Hamilton drove the restored F40 at the Monza circuit.
