What Road Cars Do F1 Drivers Have?

The F1 season is just around the corner, with the first race set to take place in Melbourne on 16^th March. Much has been made about the latest cars and who will have the edge this year, but who has the bragging rights off the track?

There are some crazy collections boasted in the F1 driver scene, and we’re going to take a look at just a few that caught our eye. From Lewis Hamilton’s astonishing collection to Max Verstappen’s varied range of motors, this list has a bit of everything and doesn’t skimp on the price.

Lewis Hamilton - A Car Collection Fit For A King

From the iconic Shelby Cobra, a car for the motor purists, to the futuristic Pagani Zonda 760 LH, Lewis’s collection is valued upwards of £28 million. A massive figure that reflects the driver's status within not only the sport but the world around him, this collection tops the list of F1 drivers for us.

Charles Leclerc – The Ferrari Golden Boy

Charles Leclerc has been the face of Ferrari for a number of years now, and his car collection only further hammers home his affiliation with the iconic racing outfit. Charles’s current choice of travel is the Ferrari Daytona SP3, a supercar that Ferrari describes as ‘the essence of racing spirit’. It seems only right in that case that Charles drives one. A Daytona SP3 can reach upwards of £2 million, making it one of the most expensive cars on this list.

Sainz – A Parting Gift From Ferrari

The new season sees Carlos Sainz race for Williams, after a departure from Ferrari. Whilst leaving the Italian outfit, he was gifted with a custom grey Ferrari Daytona SP3, a fitting tribute to a long-serving and selfless driver. For much of his Ferrari career, he flirted between being Ferrari’s leader or Charles’s understudy. The choice of this gift suggests that he and Charles were seen as equals in the Ferrari team.

Norris – A Futuristic Car Fitting Of A Future Champion

Lando Norris went fairly close to a championship in 2024 but ultimately fell short to Max Verstappen. Seen by many as a future champion, the Englishman's choice of motor reflects his status. The futuristic McLaren 765lt Spider is ‘sculptured for speed’ and reflects Lando’s commitment to the team in Papaya.

Max Verstappen – A Powerful Collection For A Powerful Driver

The champion of the last few years, Max Verstappen shows a ruthlessness on the track, and his car collection only furthers his image off it. Max recently added the ABT Audi RS6 Legacy Edition, a sheer brute force car that boasts a 4-litre twin-turbo and a horsepower of 725. This car can reach 196mph and stands out with its brutality and aggression, matching the driver behind the wheel. Other cars in his collection include the Aston Martin Vantage and Aston Martin DB11.

George Russell – A Mercedes Match Made In Heaven

George Russell is extremely loyal to Mercedes, boasting numerous models off the track. A proud owner of multiple Mercedes, Russell hand washes his cars regularly, emphasising his attention to the finer details, something that has helped him soar to the number 1 driver spot in the German race team.

Conclusion

The F1 scene is known for its high-profile status, and the drivers contribute massively to this. Their off-track choices give us a glimpse into the day-to-day lives of these drivers, which, judging by their cars, are filled with excitement and fast cars!
