F1 News: Lewis Hamilton's €10 Million Pagani Zonda Crashed
Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton's €10 million Pagani Zonda 760 LH has been involved in a crash.
The car, which was previously owned by the British driver, was sold two years ago for an eye-watering €10 million. Luckily, the new owner was not harmed in the crash.

Hamilton's bespoke Pagani Zonda 760LH stood out in his extensive car collection. With its powerful engine and custom manual gearbox, the car accelerated from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.5 seconds.
However, it wasn't flawless. Hamilton had once openly critiqued its handling, stating it sounded brilliant but was challenging to drive. This became evident when, in 2015, the Zonda was involved in a previous accident in Monte Carlo.
Despite the incident and the car's shortcomings, Hamilton remained fond of it. However, by 2021, he had let go of this prized possession, selling it to an avid collector.
Fans were quick to react to the news, one fan commented on social media:
"It hurts seeing a Zonda in these conditions"
Another fan was hoping for the best that the Zonda LH won't end up in a scrap yard after the incident. They wrote:
"Have to imagine they will fix this? Typically cars of that value are pretty damn hard to write off. I mean it will be an expensive bill but surely this wont end up in a scrap yard, especially given its history and uniqueness"
Someone else commented:
"That Zonda since being sold had been driven all over the UK and into Europe for events. The owner truly loved driving it and I'd imagine it's gonna be rebuilt in Italy and back on the road in a years time. Looks like someone took a whack to the windscreen though."
