Formula 1 Star, Lewis Hamilton Crashes His �1.5m Super Car in Monaco (Photos)

 

F1 world champion, Lewis Hamilton who was due to fly to Brazil for this weekend’s Sao Paulo grand prix, has crashed his £1.5million Pagani Zonda supercar in an accident in the early hours of Monday morning in Monaco. 

 

Police were called to the scene as Hamilton is understood to have lost control of his purple Zonda, which can reach speeds of 217mph, and hit a stationary car. 

 

 

The three-time world champion told fans on Instagram: 

 

"Dear TeamLH, just wanted to let you know why things have been quiet on social media the past few days. I’ve not been well with a fever but I also had a road accident in Monaco on Monday night. Whilst ultimately, it is nobody's business, there are people knowing my position that will try to take advantage of the situation and make a quick buck. NO problem. Nobody was hurt, which is the most important thing. But the car was obviously damaged and I made very light contact with a stationary vehicle. Talking with the team and my doctor, we decided together that it was best for me to rest at home and leave a day later. But i am feeling better and am currently boarding the plane to Brazil. However, I am informing you because I feel we all must take responsibility for our actions. Mistakes happen to us all but what's important is that we learn from them and grow. Can't wait for the weekend Brazil 🙌🏾 Bless Lewis."

 

 

Hamilton said he had not been injured in the accident but was feeling the effects of his hectic lifestyle and partying to celebrate his mother's 60th birthday.

 

It can be recalled that in 2007, Hamilton was banned from driving in France for speeding at 123mph in a Mercedes CLK. He was given a £430 on-the-spot fine and his car was impounded. 

 

He was also fined £300 for ‘hooning’ (driving recklessly) in Melbourne in 2010.
