Lewis Hamilton’s Trophy Collection – Where and How He Keeps Them

Lewis Hamilton has been an icon of the sport for years and is a man of significant achievements. A seven-time champion and a driver with multiple motorsport awards, Hamilton has multiple trophies to his name. With a vast collection of silverware collected over the years, where does he keep them?

Recently, Hamilton revealed he keeps his trophies in storage. Not a single trophy is kept in his house. Hamilton reasoned, “I don’t actually have any racing trophies at home – they’re all in storage! In fact, if you came to my house, you wouldn’t even know I was a racing driver. I have a painting of Ayrton Senna, but that’s it.”

So, what does Lewis Hamilton do with his innumerable trophies?

Where are his trophies kept?

Hamilton revealed that his proud father keeps some of his trophies. “My dad has a few trophies on show because he’s very proud and likes to show his friends.” The rest, are kept away.

The driver keeps his home clear of things associated with the sport. “Home is about getting away from that world. When you’re in the public eye, being able to have the most normal home is so important; it helps you stay centered.”

What does Lewis Hamilton plan on doing with his trophies?

In 2013, Hamilton revealed that a part of his contract with Mercedes was that he would be able to keep his helmets and trophies. “It was a small thing, but small things matter, like my helmets. It (his helmet) has my sweat, blood, and tears in it so that is why I want to keep that. Now I keep them and my trophies are my trophies”

The partnership with the team has been long and extremely successful, thus one filled with silverware. Later, in 2020, a more lucrative Hamilton revealed what he had in mind for his trophies.

When he retires from the sport, Hamilton envisions a museum to display his F1 victories. “What I would like to do is put all of them on display in a museum. My fans support me in everything I do, so they can look at all the trophies.”

He also added, “It might cost a pound to enter, which will then be donated to charity, so everyone would benefit from it.”

Hamilton is a racer who enjoys the sport for what it is and not the rewards that come along with it. Therefore, Hamilton’s simple plan for his trophies seems fitting for the personality he is.
