Inside the Private Garages of Formula 1’s Biggest Stars

As the Formula 1 summer break gets underway following Lando Norris’s Hungarian Grand Prix victory, attention has turned away from the track and towards the drivers’ private car collections — a world that reveals far more about their personalities than any podium interview.

From Minimalist to Museum Owner

Lewis Hamilton has taken the most surprising path of any current driver. Once the owner of a multi-million-pound collection including a bespoke Pagani and rare Ferraris, he confirmed last year that he had sold every car he owned, saying he had become “more into art.” Yet Hamilton has continued a beloved tradition of driving through Tokyo ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix, this year doing so in a Ferrari F40.

The Collectors and the Minimalists

Fernando Alonso sits at the opposite extreme, with a garage anchored by a rare Pagani Zonda Roadster and an Aston Martin Valkyrie. Meanwhile, Charles Leclerc has built an almost entirely Ferrari-based collection reflecting his long association with the Maranello team, while champion Lando Norris has assembled one of the grid’s most eclectic garages, spanning McLaren hypercars to a modest Fiat Jolly.

A Lesson for Everyday Enthusiasts

Elsewhere on the grid, Max Verstappen reportedly favours sim racing over supercars, while George Russell and Oscar Piastri keep noticeably modest collections. The common thread, according to the original video breakdown, is that authenticity — not price — defines a true car enthusiast.
