They spend their weekends driving the fastest race cars in the world — but what’s in their personal garages? From luxury hypercars to nostalgic rides, here’s a peek at what some of your favourite Formula 1 drivers drive off the track.
Lewis Hamilton – The White LaFerrari Aperta
Now a Ferrari driver, Lewis Hamilton has long been a fan of the brand. One of his prized cars? A LaFerrari Aperta, valued at around AU$10 million. Only 210 exist. His? A pearlescent white beauty — much like his smile.
And with Hamilton’s 2025 salary being what it is, this level of car collection starts to make perfect sense.

George Russell – Mercedes DNA to the core
George Russell drives a Mercedes-AMG ONE, a road-legal car with an actual F1 engine. With 352 km/h top speed, it’s as close to an F1 experience as possible. He also owns a sleeker AMG GT, proving he’s as stylish as he is fast.
What makes the AMG ONE so close to an actual F1 car isn’t just its engine — it’s the onboard tech. From performance telemetry to adaptive systems, it’s equipped with advanced components directly inspired by sensors used in F1 cars. These technologies help deliver race-level responsiveness on everyday roads.
Max Verstappen – A Bond-style choice
With no road car from Red Bull, Max Verstappen picked an Aston Martin DB11. Sleek, powerful, handcrafted — it fits his champion aura perfectly.
Charles Leclerc – Red, striped and fast
Leclerc is often spotted around Monaco in a Ferrari 488 Pista Spider, complete with red-and-white stripes and his #16. It’s exactly the kind of car you’d expect him to drive — stunning, elegant, Ferrari.
Carlos Sainz – From Golf to pure performance
Carlos Sainz drove a humble VW Golf GTI (a gift from his parents) until his Ferrari years. Now? A Ferrari 812 Competizione with a roaring V12. We’d call that an upgrade.
Lando Norris – Woking’s best at his fingertips
Driving for McLaren, Lando Norris owns a 720S and a GT, often in signature papaya orange. Fast, flashy, full of flair — much like the man himself.
Fernando Alonso – Legendary car for a legendary driver
Fernando Alonso has driven almost every high-performance machine imaginable. His crown jewel? A Ferrari 599 GTB – Alonso Edition, crafted in his honour after his 2011 Silverstone win. More than just a car, it’s a moving tribute to his career and unmistakable style. With its rarity and prestige, this model could easily rival an F1 car sale record, making it a true collector’s dream.
