Despite Owning $16,500,000 Worth of Exotic Cars, Lewis Hamilton Sports $26,000 Superbike in Max Verstappen’s Backyard

The thirst for competition is an everlasting pursuit for 7x champion, Lewis Hamilton. From the time he could even comprehend this world, the 38-year-old had only known one life. And in that life of racing and motorsport, he’s built himself a habit of winning. But that end goal of becoming the very best Formula 1 has ever seen was hit with a roadblock in 2021 in the shape of Max Verstappen. Now, even though he can’t compete with him on track, he’s trying to give him a run for his money off of it.

With his tremendous exploits on track in his glorious F1 career, the British racing hero has amassed a whopping 7 world championships. But with it, he also has gained an undying credibility and a massive pocket. Naturally, with all the money and a love for racing, it should not be a surprise to learn that he has a lavish garage of cars worth an eye-watering $16,500,000! That being said, he chose to ride on two wheels instead of four when it came to one-upping the Dutch lion.

Monaco is not only just a racing haven for F1 drivers. Many of these stars have made the Principality their home. But most notably, Red Bull‘s own maestro, Max Verstappen, is a starry resident of the affluent yet nuclear area near France.

And that’s exactly where the Brit was seen flexing his latest acquisition. A $26,000 superbike dubbed MV Agusta Brutale 800RR LH44. A racing driver himself, Fabrice Pantani, shared a video of the Brit scooting away on one of these limited edition beasts on the streets of the iconic principality.

Hamilton collaborates with iconic manufacturer

Lewis Hamilton’s name alone is synonymous with perfection, class, and utter dominance. Naturally, when MV Agusta, the Italian bike manufacturer, wanted to capture the market with a bang, they turned to the Brit!

According to Autocar back in 2018, “Italian brand MV Agusta has revealed the next bike in its line-up of LH44 limited-edition motorcycles, designed in collaboration with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton. This time, it is the Brutale 800 RR that has gotten the special treatment. The previous model to feature the Formula One driver’s name was the F4 LH44, but with the F4 now going out of production, the bike maker’s efforts were turned to the Brutale. 144 units will be produced, with each one being numbered and given a certificate of authenticity.”
