Lewis Hamilton has revealed he has made a change in his personal life, that he has sold off his collection of cars and taken an interest in art instead.<\/p>\n
Hamilton has long been known for his love of performance cars, having owned everything from Ferraris to a rare Pagani Zonda.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, in recent years, the 40-year-old has spoken more about sustainability and helping the planet.<\/p>\n
Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the seven-time world champion told select media, including RacingNews365: “I don\u2019t have any cars anymore. I got rid of all my cars. I\u2019m more into art nowadays.”<\/p>\n
Despite turning to art and away from cars, there is one model of Ferrari the Briton would purchase if he was in the market.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“If I was going to get a car, it\u2019d be an F40,\u201d he added \u2013 referring to the legendary Ferrari F40.<\/p>\n
Hamilton heads into this weekend’s action in Baku following a series of improved performances, despite his results painting a different picture.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He has started to find more confidence in the SF-25, with team-mate Charles Leclerc having consistently been strong in Azerbaijan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Baku City Circuit is one of the most unique on the F1 calendar, featuring the narrowest corner of the season \u2013 Turn 8.<\/p>\n
“I mean, it is a challenge, it’s probably one of my least favourite corners,” said Hamilton. “It’s not particularly exciting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“It’s very narrow, and obviously it’s a train through there. You can only follow, you can’t overtake. So, it’s pretty cool seeing the castle, but that’s kind of it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lewis Hamilton has revealed he has made a change in his personal life, that he has sold off…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":152784,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,2476,578,2479,2477,2480,2478,930,576,577,932,1885,2475,582,82],"class_list":["post-152783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motorsport","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=152783"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152783\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/152784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=152783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=152783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
