Lewis Hamilton shows off his rare £4.5m supercar in trip away ahead of Silverstone | F1 | Sports

The seven-time world champion is gearing up for his home Grand Prix at Silverstone this weekend, a venue where he has won eight times before. In 2021, he overcame a time penalty following a controversial collision with title rival Max Verstappen, before going on to take the checkered flag.

A similar result looks unlikely this time around though, given the problems both he and Mercedes have endured so far in 2022. The Silver Arrows have been plagued by the issue of ‘porpoising’, with Hamilton sixth lying in the standings on 77 points, 98 off leader Verstappen.

But his F1 form didn’t seem to be bothering him when he showed off his 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 on Instagram on a trip with his beloved dog, Roscoe, writing ‘Best day out with my buddy’. Carroll Shelby, a former winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, designed the iconic Cobra 427 in 1966.
