The F1 Virtual Grand Prix Series has picked up a lot of traction ever since the inaugural race. The upcoming race this weekend will feature 6 current F1 drivers and former legends including a mix of celebrities and gamers. However, one particular driver’s absence from the event is noticeable. Max Verstappen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/] spends a considerable amount of time gaming and on the simulator but he’s chosen to stay away from F1. Lando Norris [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lando-norris/] has an interesting answer regarding his absence. WHY DOES MAX VERSTAPPEN AVOID F1 ESPORTS? Verstappen dropped out of the inaugural race a day before the event citing lack of preparation. Furthermore, Max claimed he only competed to win and fighting at the back wasn’t something he looked forward to. However, does the real reason lie in the game itself? F1 2019 is a visually stunning game and undoubtedly Codemasters’ best creation yet. Unfortunately, it’s far from perfect and riddled with issues. Lando Norris has experienced this, with the game crashing on multiple occasions. Norris struggled to participate in the inaugural Virtual Grand Prix due to connection issues and couldn’t really show off his skills. In a similar incident, the Briton suffered an embarrassing fail while streaming live on twitch to 100000 people as a part of Stream Aid. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/nor-1.jpg] Lando Norris had an interesting take on why Max keeps away from F1 Esports. Speaking to Sky Sports F1, Norris said: “I’ve got no clue” “I think the F1 game is really good fun, its quick and has the corner speeds and everything and feels great” “You have some of the other programs like iRacing [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRacing],[in] which we race against each other on and there’s just more variety” “You can do GT cars, single seaters and a lot more different stuff” Norris believes Verstappen prefers other games due to the variety and is a welcome change from the familiar world of F1. “I don’t think he’s driven on it that much anyway” “Maybe he doesn’t want to join because he knows he’s not going to win!” said Norris cheekily. F1 went from 2 drivers to 6 for the second instalment of the Virtual Race. Hopefully, the number keeps going up and we get all 20 drivers soon.

<h2><strong>Australian Grand Prix - 2021 Latest News, Winners, Qualifying, Circuits, Track</strong></h2>
The Australian Grand Prix technically originated in 1953 at the Albert Park Circuit, and Doug Whiteford took the win. However, it was a non-championship race, and the Australian Grand Prix was not integrated until 1985 in Adelaide. Williams driver Keke Rosberg became the first Australian Grand Prix winner in the F1 championship.

The first F1 championship winner at Albert Park was Damon Hill in 1996, again for Williams F1. Since then, Formula One has been a regular visitor in Melbourne. It is also worth mentioning that the Albert Park circuit has been the season-opening race, 21 times out of 24 races.

The 2021 event was originally scheduled to open the season in March but has been moved to November due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions.
<h2>Effect of COVID-19</h2>
The Australian Grand Prix was supposed to kick off the 2020 Formula One Season. However, the race down under was called off before it could really take off. The Pandemic meant a delayed start to the F1 season, with Albert Park, unfortunately, missing out on the 2020 calendar.

Since 1996 it has been held at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne every year, with the exception of 2020 when the race was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

<h2><strong>Australian Grand Prix Circuit Details </strong></h2>
The circuit utilizes parts of the public roads surrounding the Albert Park Lake. The road sections were rebuilt ahead of the 1996 race to ensure consistency and smoothness. This is where the Albert Park circuit differs from other street-going circuits.

The track itself appears fast and relatively easy to drive. The drivers have even praised the circuit for being easy to learn and achieve competitive times. However, the flat terrain around the lake, coupled with a track design that features few true straights, means that the track is not conducive to overtaking.

Each year, most of the motorsport infrastructure is constructed two months ahead of the Grand Prix weekend. Following that, they are removed within six weeks.

The land around the circuit has restricted access during that entire period. However, there usually is some amount of dissent from local residents. Nevertheless, the event is reasonably popular in Melbourne and Australia.
<h2><strong>Australian Grand Prix Tickets</strong></h2>

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Lando Norris 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h2>
British driver Lando Norris made his Formula 1 debut with McLaren during the 2019 season. He was initially interested in pursuing a motorcycle racing career. However, that changed when he attended his first kart race. He made his racing debut in 2014 at the Ginetta Junior Championship, finishing 3rd. A year later, he won the MSA Formula Championship while racing for Carlin. In 2016, he even won the Formula Renault 2.0 and the Toyota Racing Series.

Finally, in 2017, he won the FIA Formula 3 Championship and placed 2nd at the Macau GP. But in 2018, he could only muster 2nd in the FIA Formula 2 Championship, losing out toÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/george-russell/" target="_self" rel="noopener">George Russell</a>. In Formula 1, he has been fairly successful after making his debut in 2019 with McLaren. In his rookie season, he managed to secure 49 points and finished 11th in the driver standings. His maiden podium came in the following season. He has finished on the podium 15 times in his career; 3 of them coming in the 2021 season.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Lando Norris: Stats and On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
During the 2017 Formula 3 season, the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mclaren/">McLaren</a> #4 driver won the very first race of the season. He followed it up with a podium in Round 3, both races at Silverstone. Since then, Lando Norris went on a 5-race podium streak, including a win. But it was halted at Race 3 of the Pau Grand Prix. Unfazed, he scored six podiums and seven wins to seal the Championship.

During the 2018 Formula 2 season, he claimed a season-opening victory, this time in Bahrain. However, it would be the only win he took all season. But he managed to follow it up with eight podiums to finish 2nd in the Championship.

The 2019 Formula 1 season was his first-ever season among the elite. He was partnered by Spanish driver <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Sainz_Jr." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carlos Sainz Jr.</a>Â atÂ McLaren. The 2021 F1 season has been the most successful season for Norris, having garnered a total of 4 podiums, and almost secured his first-ever top 5 finish in the drivers' standings. He has also defeated Sainz's successor, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-ricciardo/">Daniel Ricciardo</a> quite effectively, despite the latter's abundant experience in F1. He finished 7th in the Drivers' Championship with 122 points in the 2022 season, 38 points less than what he had managed in the previous season.

The 2023 season witnessed rookie Oscar Piastri replacing Daniel Ricciardo as Norris' new teammate. After a slow start to the season, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-lando-norris-co-s-clever-tactics-tipped-to-destroy-lewis-hamilton-while-max-verstappen-remains-elusive/">McLaren and Norris found their groove.</a> Norris bagged 205 points over the course of the seasonâ€“his career bestâ€“and finished only 1 point behind 4th place as both Leclerc and Alonso finished level on 206 points.

After holding the record for the most podiums without a win, the situation turned around for Lando Norris, who won his first race at the 2024 Miami Grand Prix. His first race win brought him to 83 points where he tied at P4 in the driver's championship. Norris had the lead after the safety car incident and, since lap 33, he knew he would win the race. This makes him the 114th Grand Prix winner in the history of the sport.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">The scariest moments of Lando Norris' career</h2>
The Briton suffered what is arguably the worst crash of his career during the 2021 Belgian GP qualifying. The crash took place around the nerve-wracking Eau Rouge-Raidillon turn under appalling weather conditions. The very same year, Norris ended up being a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-lando-norris-robbery-remains-a-mystery-as-twisted-case-takes-another-turn-after-recent-judgement/">victim of a robbery</a> while heading out of the Wembley Stadium after the Euro 2020 finals between England and Italy. Norris lost his $75,000 worth of Richard Mille prototype watch in the robbery.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Lando Norris: Net Worth</strong></h2>
In 2019, Lando Norris' salary was estimated to be around $2 million <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.racefans.net/2020/03/30/how-much-are-f1-drivers-earning-in-2020-and-should-their-fees-be-capped/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to reports</a>. However, in 2021, Norris' on-track salary witnessed a substantial jump and <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/brettknight/2021/07/22/formula-1-highest-paid-drivers-hamilton-verstappen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly raced up</a> to a whopping $9 million, which was only $1 million less than the salary of his teammate, Daniel Ricciardo.

In February 2022, Norris extended his partnership with McLaren until the end of 2025. This particularÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.gq.com.au/fitness/sport/f1-driver-salaries-2022/image-gallery/959853345554bc750aa6609f94994634#:~:text=Lando%20Norris%20signed%20a%20contract,2023%20season%2C%20will%20likely%20go" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contract</a>Â will be worth $80M and hence, Norris will embrace yearly earnings of around $20M.

Norris also owns an E-sports team named '<a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://quadrant.gg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quadrant</a>'. The Briton has a logo of his own too goes by the alphabets L and N and is usually written as 'L4NDO'. His helmet, too, sports a similar design.

As of December 2023, Norris' net worth is <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/24632242/lando-norris-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> to be around $30 million.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Lando Norris: Endorsements</strong></h2>

Not many know of this, but Lando Norris's father isÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/bristol-rich-list-2016-revealed-270" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one of the richest people in the UK</a>. Adam Norris is a multimillionaire who made his fortunes through pension funds. Norris' mother CiscaÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/formula-1/2019/07/12/lando-norris-interview-not-going-moving-monaco-yet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">is Belgian</a>Â and the 22-year-old holds dual citizenship from Britain and Belgium.

In 2021, Norris officially revealed that he was dating the Portuguese model, Luisinha Oliveira. The Briton posted a picture of the two together holidaying on Instagram, to which his former teammate, Carlos Sainz, commented, "<em>It's official.</em>" However, the couple parted ways in 2022. Before Oliveria, Norris was rumored to be dating Ukrainian model Katerina Berezhna.

Born in the late 90s, one might assume Norris idolizes drivers like Michael Schumacher, Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso, or Lewis Hamilton. However, truth be told, he idolizes none of the Formula 1 drivers. Instead, his idol has always been MotoGP legend, Valentino Rossi. The Briton, on several occasions, has made it obvious by sporting bucket caps with the number 46 and 'The Doctor' written all over them.

Lando Norris

Lando Norris 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements British driver Lando Norris made his Formula 1 debut with McLaren during the 2019 season. He was initially interested in pursuing a motorcycle racing career. However, that changed when he attended his first kart race. He made his racing debut in 2014 at the Ginetta Junior Championship, finishing 3rd. A year later, he won the MSA Formula Championship while racing for Carlin. In 2016, he even won the Formula Renault 2.0 and the Toyota Racing Series. Formula One F1 &#8211; Canadian Grand Prix &#8211; Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Montreal, Canada &#8211; June 18, 2023. McLaren&#8217;s Lando Norris during the drivers parade ahead of the Grand Prix. REUTERS/Mathieu Belanger Finally, in 2017, he won the FIA Formula 3 Championship and placed 2nd at the Macau GP. But in 2018, he could only muster 2nd in the FIA Formula 2 Championship, losing out toÂ George Russell. In Formula 1, he has been fairly successful after making his debut in 2019 with McLaren. In his rookie season, he managed to secure 49 points and finished 11th in the driver standings. His maiden podium came in the following season. He has finished on the podium 15 times in his career; 3 of them coming in the 2021 season. Lando Norris: Stats and On-track Achievements During the 2017 Formula 3 season, the McLaren #4 driver won the very first race of the season. He followed it up with a podium in Round 3, both races at Silverstone. Since then, Lando Norris went on a 5-race podium streak, including a win. But it was halted at Race 3 of the Pau Grand Prix. Unfazed, he scored six podiums and seven wins to seal the Championship. During the 2018 Formula 2 season, he claimed a season-opening victory, this time in Bahrain. However, it would be the only win he took all season. But he managed to follow it up with eight podiums to finish 2nd in the Championship. The 2019 Formula 1 season was his first-ever season among the elite. He was partnered by Spanish driver Carlos Sainz Jr.Â atÂ McLaren. The 2021 F1 season has been the most successful season for Norris, having garnered a total of 4 podiums, and almost secured his first-ever top 5 finish in the drivers&#8217; standings. He has also defeated Sainz&#8217;s successor, Daniel Ricciardo quite effectively, despite the latter&#8217;s abundant experience in F1. He finished 7th in the Drivers&#8217; Championship with 122 points in the 2022 season, 38 points less than what he had managed in the previous season. The 2023 season witnessed rookie Oscar Piastri replacing Daniel Ricciardo as Norris&#8217; new teammate. After a slow start to the season, McLaren and Norris found their groove. Norris bagged 205 points over the course of the seasonâ€“his career bestâ€“and finished only 1 point behind 4th place as both Leclerc and Alonso finished level on 206 points. After holding the record for the most podiums without a win, the situation turned around for Lando Norris, who won his first race at the 2024 Miami Grand Prix. His first race win brought him to 83 points where he tied at P4 in the driver&#8217;s championship. Norris had the lead after the safety car incident and, since lap 33, he knew he would win the race. This makes him the 114th Grand Prix winner in the history of the sport. The scariest moments of Lando Norris&#8217; career The Briton suffered what is arguably the worst crash of his career during the 2021 Belgian GP qualifying. The crash took place around the nerve-wracking Eau Rouge-Raidillon turn under appalling weather conditions. The very same year, Norris ended up being a victim of a robbery while heading out of the Wembley Stadium after the Euro 2020 finals between England and Italy. Norris lost his $75,000 worth of Richard Mille prototype watch in the robbery. Lando Norris: Net Worth In 2019, Lando Norris&#8217; salary was estimated to be around $2 million according to reports. However, in 2021, Norris&#8217; on-track salary witnessed a substantial jump and reportedly raced up to a whopping $9 million, which was only $1 million less than the salary of his teammate, Daniel Ricciardo. In February 2022, Norris extended his partnership with McLaren until the end of 2025. This particularÂ contractÂ will be worth $80M and hence, Norris will embrace yearly earnings of around $20M. Norris also owns an E-sports team named &#8216;Quadrant&#8216;. The Briton has a logo of his own too goes by the alphabets L and N and is usually written as &#8216;L4NDO&#8217;. His helmet, too, sports a similar design. As of December 2023, Norris&#8217; net worth is reported to be around $30 million.

Adam Norris is a multimillionaire who made his fortunes through pension funds. Norris&#8217; mother CiscaÂ is BelgianÂ and the 22-year-old holds dual citizenship from Britain and Belgium. In 2021, Norris officially revealed that he was dating the Portuguese model, Luisinha Oliveira. The Briton posted a picture of the two together holidaying on Instagram, to which his former teammate, Carlos Sainz, commented, &#8220;It&#8217;s official.&#8221; However, the couple parted ways in 2022. Before Oliveria, Norris was rumored to be dating Ukrainian model Katerina Berezhna. Read More:Â Who is Luisinha Oliveira- Lando Norris&#8217; Girlfriend? Born in the late 90s, one might assume Norris idolizes drivers like Michael Schumacher, Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso, or Lewis Hamilton. However, truth be told, he idolizes none of the Formula 1 drivers. Instead, his idol has always been MotoGP legend, Valentino Rossi.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Max Verstappen was a child prodigy who was roped in by Red Bull F1 at a very young age. He moved into F1 directly from F3 at the age of 17 during the 2015 Australian Grand Prix, partneringÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carlos-sainz/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Carlos Sainz Jr</a> in Toro Rosso. For the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he was promoted to Red Bull, a race that he won. There was a lot of hype around his entry into Formula 1, and it was completely justified.

He has always been classified as the next big thing in Formula 1, and many anticipate him to do what Lewis Hamilton is doing in the current F1 era. Such is his might and skill, that former F1 drivers, Jenson Button and <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Fernando Alonso,</a>Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.out-of-this-world-verstappen-on-same-level-as-schumacher-and-alonso-says.6BLkA9yf5x1Qy1rHLyRQPW.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">labeled</a>Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.planetf1.com/news/alonso-verstappen-is-the-best-driver-in-f1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">him as one of the best F1 drivers on the grid</a>.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Max Verstappen's Stats and On-track </strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
Considering the age at which he joined Formula 1, he has multiple records to his name. He is the youngest driver to start a race, score points, be a race leader, step on the podium, and set the fastest lap. Sadly, the one record that eluded him was the Youngest pole sitter, a record that still belongs to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Sebastian Vettel</a>.

With his race win at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he also became the youngest driver to win a Grand Prix. 2019 initially remained one of his best seasons in F1. He had to take a leadership role in the team with Daniel Ricciardo departing to Renault. Max Verstappen took 3 race victories and 2 pole positions to bring glory to both Red Bull and an ailing Honda.

However, then arrived the 2021 season, which witnessed the best version yet of Verstappen. Verstappen went in level on points with Lewis Hamilton heading into the season finale at Abu Dhabi. Both drivers were on 369.5 points and after a high-tension battle for the championship, the Dutchman ousted his rival, to clinch his first-ever title in F1.

Max Verstappen upped the ante the following season, claiming his 2nd Drivers' Championship in 2022 with 454 points. The 2023 season was Verstappen's most dominant as he clinched a hattrick of Drivers' titles with a record 86.35 win percentage. He won a total of 19 out of the 22 races in the 2023 season.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen: New racing number</h2>
Having won the world championship title in 2021, Verstappen earned the privilege of replacing his previous number, 33, with 1. The rulebook of F1 suggests that any driver that manages to win a title would have the option of sporting #1 over the succeeding season. However, if the driver fails to defend their title that year, they would have to revert to their usual number in the following season.

One might wonder why there hasn't been a driver sporting this prestigious number over all these years. Well, since the hybrid era, only two drivers, apart from Verstappen, have won titles; Hamilton and Rosberg. While the latter retired right after his championship-winning year, denying himself of embracing the king's treatment, Hamilton chose to run with his favorite number, 44, instead.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen: Net Worth 2024</h2>
Naturally, the kind of personality Verstappen is, he always finds himself in the news good or bad. But at the end of the day, Verstappen delivers on the track and Red Bull doesn't want to lose their star driver. The Dutchman is contracted to Red Bull until the end of 2028.

Max Verstappen

Max Verstappen 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements Max Verstappen was a child prodigy who was roped in by Red Bull F1 at a very young age. He moved into F1 directly from F3 at the age of 17 during the 2015 Australian Grand Prix, partneringÂ Carlos Sainz Jr in Toro Rosso. For the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he was promoted to Red Bull, a race that he won. There was a lot of hype around his entry into Formula 1, and it was completely justified. He has always been classified as the next big thing in Formula 1, and many anticipate him to do what Lewis Hamilton is doing in the current F1 era. Such is his might and skill, that former F1 drivers, Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso,Â labeledÂ him as one of the best F1 drivers on the grid. But his skill also comes with him being a hot head oftenÂ known to say controversial statements or target teams/players directly.

Jos&#8217; F1 career wasn&#8217;t quite as successful as his son&#8217;s. His mother&#8217;s name is Sophie Kumpen. Verstappen&#8217;s sister, Victoria, enjoys a healthy following on social media and has her own fashion line. Read More:Â Who Is Max Verstappen&#8217;s Father Jos? The Man Behind One of F1&#8217;s Greatest Superstars Verstappen was in a relationship with Dilara Sanlik.Â As of 2024, Max Verstappen is in a relationship with Kelly Piquet. The latter even showed up at the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix, where Verstappen won his second F1 race of the season. She was standing amongst the Red Bull crew during the podium celebrations. Following the nerve-wracking 2021 season, Verstappen and Piquet spent their Christmas and New Year with the Piquet family in Brazil. Kelly is the daughter of 3-time champion Nelson Piquet.

Max Verstappen&#8217;s Stats and On-track Achievements Considering the age at which he joined Formula 1, he has multiple records to his name. He is the youngest driver to start a race, score points, be a race leader, step on the podium, and set the fastest lap. Sadly, the one record that eluded him was the Youngest pole sitter, a record that still belongs to Sebastian Vettel. With his race win at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he also became the youngest driver to win a Grand Prix. 2019 initially remained one of his best seasons in F1. He had to take a leadership role in the team with Daniel Ricciardo departing to Renault. Max Verstappen took 3 race victories and 2 pole positions to bring glory to both Red Bull and an ailing Honda.

Verstappen went in level on points with Lewis Hamilton heading into the season finale at Abu Dhabi. Both drivers were on 369.5 points and after a high-tension battle for the championship, the Dutchman ousted his rival, to clinch his first-ever title in F1. Max Verstappen upped the ante the following season, claiming his 2nd Drivers&#8217; Championship in 2022 with 454 points. The 2023 season was Verstappen&#8217;s most dominant as he clinched a hattrick of Drivers&#8217; titles with a record 86.35 win percentage. He won a total of 19 out of the 22 races in the 2023 season. Max Verstappen: New racing number Having won the world championship title in 2021, Verstappen earned the privilege of replacing his previous number, 33, with 1. The rulebook of F1 suggests that any driver that manages to win a title would have the option of sporting #1 over the succeeding season. However, if the driver fails to defend their title that year, they would have to revert to their usual number in the following season. One might wonder why there hasn&#8217;t been a driver sporting this prestigious number over all these years. Well, since the hybrid era, only two drivers, apart from Verstappen, have won titles; Hamilton and Rosberg. While the latter retired right after his championship-winning year, denying himself of embracing the king&#8217;s treatment, Hamilton chose to run with his favorite number, 44, instead. Max Verstappen: Net Worth 2024 Naturally, the kind of personality Verstappen is, he always finds himself in the news good or bad. But at the end of the day, Verstappen delivers on the track and Red Bull doesn&#8217;t want to lose their star driver. The Dutchman is contracted to Red Bull until the end of 2028.

However, Verstappen&#8217;s net worth could shoot up, considering the substantial rise in pay from 2024 amidst the newly signed contract. The Dutchman will receive an on-track salary of a whopping $70M, including $25M in bonuses. However, as of now, Verstappen&#8217;s yearly salary stands at $45M.

His prized possession is the $2.7 million hypercar Valkyrie, which Red Bull-Aston Martin jointly developed. He also owns the road-legal version of the James Bond car in the film Spectre &#8211; DB11 worth $200,000. His garage houses a couple of Ferrari&#8217;s as well, which includes the 488 Pista worth $331,000 and the $1.2 million Monza SP2. Additionally, his collection includes the 2018 Vantage ($150,000) and a DBS Superleggera ($360,000). However, his first purchase was a $400,000 Renault R. S. 01.
