Lewis Hamilton is truly going green. The Brit is the richest F1 driver on the current grid, if not ever. With all his riches, Hamilton invested a hefty chunk in buying his dream cars. Hamilton had a massive fleet of cars with supercars to rare items in his fleet. However, after pledging to do better for the environment, Hamilton sold most of his cars which were not environmentally friendly. This included some of the most rare cars in the world including his one-off Pagani Zonda. After his rare purple beauty changed hands, it fell into that could not take care of it. The owner of Hamilton’s Zonda crashed the car in Wales, but did he survive the crash?

The Mercedes man sold his 750-hp V-12 supercar after seven years of ownership. After buying the supercar in 2014, Hamilton housed the rare beauty in Monaco and was seen cruising around in it from time to time. In 2021, Hamilton reportedly sold his custom Zonda for approximately $11 million making a hefty profit. However, the supercar was too powerful to handle for its new owner as well.

As seen on Twitter, the car was towed after a massive shunt in Wales. Hamilton’s Zonda looked absolutely trashed from the right side with the rear wheel sustaining heavy damage.

Thankfully though the owner survived the crash. The only damage he sustained was to his pockets as on top of spending over $11 million, he will now need to spend a few more for its repairs.

This isn’t the first time Hamilton’s Zonda suffered damage either. The Brit crashed the car himself back in 2015 but quickly got his custom car repaired. Although, a much more mature Hamilton is focused on making the world a better place and his approach is rubbing off as well.

Global warming is one of the biggest and most impactful concerns of our world at the moment. The massive damage already done to the environment needs an all-hands-on-deck approach to make a positive impact. Formula 1 is often scrutinized for its negative contributions. However, the sport and most entities involved with the sport are making amends. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff is among the many and the Austrian boss gave insight into Mercedes’ attempts to counter their carbon emissions.

Toto Wolff said, “The world is under pressure because climate change is happening. And it is perfectly clear that sustainability is a key issue in every company today. We in our team also try to contribute positively, not just with words but with deeds. We get 100 percent of our energy from green resources. We are building a solar park. We try to reduce our emissions as much as possible.”

Every F1 team needs to make efforts to reduce their carbon footprint. With F1 also taking active steps, we can see the sport moving forward with the environment in mind.
