Lewis Hamilton’s $20 Million Worth Dream Finally to Get Fulfilled at $50 After 15 years

It’s a well-known fact that Lewis Hamilton has been one of the most successful drivers in Formula 1. But it also translates to the fact that he is one of the richest athletes in the world, with a net worth of nearly $300 million. However, despite holding all this money, a private jet, and a stake in a football team, there is still something that the Briton couldn’t get his hands on despite being very closely associated with the other party in concern.

And the other party, i.e., the seller, is none other than McLaren, Lewis’s former team. He is regarded as one of the greatest drivers in the team’s history, as he stands as their most recent driver champion, which he became back in 2008. McLaren holds something that comes into his possession and will make his dream come true, for which he has been waiting for well over 15 years. And it is none other than the exclusive edition of the McLaren F1, the McLaren F1 LM, where LM stands for Le Mans. One of the two F1 LMs available publicly was sold for a whopping $19.8 million in 2019 as reported by TopGear.

But now the dream might come true in a small way at a very small cost of just $50. Let us explain the questions running inside of you. As a part of their 60-year celebration, McLaren, in its long-time partnership with Lego, is releasing a small set of 581 pieces, which also includes two mini figures. It will be a part of the first LEGO Speed Champions double pack featuring the McLaren F1 LM and the McLaren Solus GT, two of the company’s most recognizable models.

And though the Briton couldn’t add the F1 LM to his luxurious car collection, this is something he can undoubtedly get his hands on and add to his Lego collection (if it exists).

Why Lewis Hamilton couldn’t get his hands on F1 LM?

The team created McLaren’s F1 LM to celebrate their 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans win. So, they created only five of these models with an additional prototype, with the five cars boasting 680 horsepower.

Of the five, three went into the private collection of the Sultan of Brunei, leaving only two in the public domain. The rarity of the car is so high that the then McLaren boss Ron Dennis promised Lewis Hamilton one of the models if he wins the 2008 drivers’ championship as well as constructors. And while he did win the driver’s title, the constructors’ title went to Ferrari.

Alas, Lewis didn’t get the car. But many believe that the Mercedes driver is such a fan that he wishes to get it even now. And we hope he does.
